Rubrik announced a new alliance with Cisco that is designed to enhance organizations’ cyber-resilience while protecting against mission-critical data cyberattacks.
A recent Rubrik Zero Labs report indicates that 66 percent of IT and security leaders saw data growth outpacing their ability to secure data and mitigate risk. Of note, they are witnessing increasing cyberattack sophistication, leveraging of coverage gaps to target critical data and increasing information volumes that exacerbate visibility challenges.
As a result, organizations are left to find ways to manage and protect this swelling data presence.
Under this agreement, Rubrik is joining Cisco’s SolutionsPlus program. This strategic move will see Rubrik’s products – including the data security posture management (DSPM) offering – added to Cisco’s global price list. In particular, Rubrik’s DSPM proactively reduces data exposure and exfiltration risk across on-premise, cloud and SaaS environments.
Additionally, Cisco’s direct and channel sales network will offer Rubrik Security Cloud with Cisco unified computing systems (UCS) and extended detection and response (XDR). With the integration, joint customers spanning edge, public and private cloud environments gain a validated architecture to mitigate ransomware and promote business continuity with agility and orchestration resources.
Together, the companies are seeking to deliver unified computing and zero trust data security while ensuring data resilience against cyberattacks, malicious insiders and operational disruptions, all with a seamless purchasing experience, from a single source.
Rubrik Security Cloud on Cisco UCS is tested and pre-engineered with Cisco Validated Designs, offering automated deployment, multi-site scaling and lifecycle management through Cisco Intersight.
Benefits include:
- Identifying targeted attacks on data with comprehensive threat coverage.
- Accelerating investigation and prioritization, allowing organizations to combine threat intelligence and data context to prioritize and effectively respond to data threats.
- Enabling recovery and restoration by streamlining security and IT operations.
- Improving TCO and streamlining lifecycle management.
“Complex, siloed systems create gaps in visibility that hinder operations and slow down organizations’ ability to detect and respond to threats,” said Cisco Compute SVP and GM, Jeremy Foster. “Cisco and Rubrik are delivering threat detection and data context in one place, enabling security teams to effectively prioritize critical attacks and respond to them quickly. This partnership reflects our commitment to providing unified, modern solutions on computing infrastructure that simplifies operations and empowers organizations to protect and derive more value from their data.”
