Rubrik introduces new generative AI capabilities for VMware with Rubrik AI-Powered Cyber Recovery. Using generative AI and large language models (LLMs), the new solution helps administrators make difficult decisions after cyberattacks to minimize data loss and reduce downtime.
Additionally, the features enable backup administrators to deploy recommended task lists and guided workflows to ensure efficient data recovery and maintain cyber resilience.
Cyberattacks pose one of the greatest threats to enterprise virtual machines. Maintaining cyber resilience in the face of cyberattacks requires the ability to quickly and securely restore critical data such as virtual machines. With traditional backup solutions, recovering from cyberattacks often involves manual and time-consuming processes that require highly skilled IT professionals.
Classic data recovery takes a long time
Despite these laborious processes, companies still face incomplete restores and data loss when restoring data from an early backup. According to Rubrik Zero Labs' current report on the state of data security, only 24 percent of companies surveyed in Germany were able to fully recover their data after a ransomware attack, even if they had paid the ransom demand.
“Cyberattacks can be very unpredictable. The complexity and sophistication of these threats make it significantly more difficult for organizations to recover data quickly, securely and with minimal data loss,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “We know that every minute counts in a cyberattack. Rubrik AI-Powered Cyber Recovery helps companies take advantage of every second to get their business-critical systems and data up and running again. Generative AI will be key to our goal of securing the world’s data – helping our customers achieve true cyber resilience more effectively.”
Features of Rubrik AI-Powered Cyber Recovery
- Improve recovery point objective (RPO) with clean, up-to-date data: Step-by-step instructions for restoring unaffected files from the most recent snapshot, as well as affected files from the snapshot before a suspicious threat was detected - all on a clean virtual machine created from a Gold Master Template.
- Eliminate the risk of malware re-infection with secure virtual machine recovery: Identifying vSphere templates to reconstruct clean and secure virtual machines and avoid introducing undetected vulnerabilities in the operating system.
- Minimize application downtime with AI-powered task lists: IT teams receive clear recommendations on which snapshot or files to select for a clean and successful recovery - thanks to Rubrik's data analysis built into Azure OpenAI.
This announcement follows Rubrik's recent collaboration with Microsoft, which announced the integration of Rubrik Security Cloud with Microsoft Sentinel and Azure OpenAI Service to accelerate cyber recovery through the use of generative AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Rubrik is committed to finding new ways to use AI in cyber recovery. This allows organizations to reduce the time it takes to investigate and respond to cyberattacks, strengthening overall cyber resilience.
