Summary
The ability to recover quickly and confidently from a cyberattack is a necessity. Rubrik and Pure Storage have teamed up to deliver the industry’s first integrated cyber recovery solution with full data visibility and near-zero recovery time objectives.
In the wake of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the ability to recover quickly and confidently from an attack is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Pure Storage, in partnership with Rubrik, is proud to introduce a powerful new integration that redefines cyber resilience and recovery speed. This joint solution is now generally available, empowering IT and security teams to minimize downtime, protect data integrity, and confidently recover critical applications within minutes.
Cyber Recovery at Near-zero RTO
Every second matters during a cyber incident. Downtime can mean lost revenue, customer attrition, and operational disruption. That’s why Pure Storage and Rubrik have joined forces to deliver the industry’s first integrated cyber recovery solution with full data visibility and near-zero recovery time objectives (RTOs).
With Rubrik Security Cloud’s zero-trust data protection and advanced threat intelligence integrated into the Pure Storage Enterprise Data Cloud, organizations gain a unified, enterprise-grade solution for cyber resilience. Rubrik is the first cyber resilience partner to natively integrate with Pure Storage Enterprise Data Cloud workflow orchestration through Pure Fusion™, creating a revolutionary defense against ransomware. When Rubrik Security Cloud detects a threat, Pure Fusion automates the tagging of affected volumes and indelible SafeMode™ Snapshots using Rubrik’s intelligence.
The Enterprise Data Cloud uniquely delivers a unified, high-performance platform for block, file, and object data with fleet management, visibility, and control. This powerful combination accelerates threat detection and enables near-instant recovery of clean data at scale—delivering the performance, reliability, and simplicity needed to restore critical operations with confidence.
Integrated Intelligence, Trusted Recovery
At the heart of this integration is the seamless interplay between Rubrik’s intelligent data protection and immutable, high-speed infrastructure from Pure Storage. When Rubrik detects indicators of compromise (IoCs) during automated scans of backup data, it shares threat intelligence and metadata with Pure1®, an AI-driven management platform from Pure Storage.
Pure1 Workflow Automation queries the Rubrik Security Cloud for any identified threats, anomalies, or quarantined backups, correlating them with Pure FlashArray volumes and snapshots. The workflow then cross-references this intelligence with SafeMode™ Snapshots stored in the Enterprise Data Cloud, automatically tagging any volumes and corresponding snapshots that may have been affected. This provides instant visibility into uninfected, safe-to-recover snapshots. In the event of a cyberattack, IT and security teams can quickly identify trusted recovery points and immediately restore clean data—without the risk of reinfection.
The Pure Storage-Rubrik Cyber Resilience Stack
The Pure Storage-Rubrik cyber resilience stack delivers the industry’s first genuinely unified solution with intelligent validation. By fusing Rubrik’s continuous threat intelligence—which scans backup data for indicators of compromise (IoCs)—with the immutable foundation and instant recovery of Pure Storage SafeMode Snapshots and the automation of the Pure Storage Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC), we eliminate the most critical source of recovery uncertainty. This joint stack ensures that recovery is not only instantaneous but is guaranteed clean, transforming data security into a verifiable outcome for the business.
Why This Matters
How quickly you can recover can make all the difference in preserving business continuity, customer trust, and financial health. That’s where the integration of the Pure Storage Enterprise Data Cloud and the Rubrik Security Cloud truly shines.
At the core of this solution is proactive threat identification. Rubrik’s continuous threat detection uses anomaly detection and deep file inspection to uncover threats early—before they spread or cause irreversible damage. This advanced detection capability doesn’t just alert teams to potential risks; it also intelligently highlights clean, uncompromised recovery points. That means organizations can act quickly and with confidence, avoiding the delays and uncertainty that often accompany forensic investigations.
Rubrik’s integration with the Pure Storage Enterprise Data Cloud redefines cyber recovery by giving organizations a clear, guided path to a clean, trusted recovery point. This partnership enables security and IT teams to rapidly identify uninfected snapshots, dramatically reducing downtime and uncertainty during an attack.
At the core of this capability are Pure Storage SafeMode Snapshots—immutable, tamper-proof recovery points that cannot be altered or deleted, even by administrators. When paired with Rubrik’s threat intelligence and data scanning, organizations can quickly confirm whether a snapshot is safe to restore, eliminating guesswork and risk. Instead of sifting through volumes of potentially compromised data, teams are pointed directly to viable recovery options.
This clarity and speed are vital when every second counts. Pure Storage ultra-low latency infrastructure enables these verified snapshots to be restored at scale within minutes, not hours—helping ensure critical applications and services are back online quickly and securely.
Together, this integrated solution doesn’t just protect data—it accelerates response, strengthens resilience, and supports compliance. With full visibility from detection to recovery, teams can meet audit demands, reduce business disruption, and confidently navigate today’s complex threat and regulatory landscape.
