Data is the new currency in the digital economy. However, organisations face unprecedented challenges with exponential data growth, including performance bottlenecks, a lack of practical data visibility, and increasing cyber threats.

Rubrik, Inc., the Zero Trust Data Security company, and Pure Storage, the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technologies and services, bring together primary storage, data security, and long-term retention with Rubrik Security Cloud, to arm global customers with a proven reference architecture to ensure uptime and a path forward in the face of growing cyber threats.

Cyber resilience, defence in depth

By combining key elements of Rubrik Security Cloud and the Pure Storage Platform, enterprises can gain critical Cyber Resilience capabilities with a three-layered defense strategy, which includes:

  • Rapid Recovery: The Pure Storage Platform uses immutable snapshots as the first layer of defense in a three-layered architecture, ensuring rapid recovery and near-zero Recovery Time Objective (RTO) during cyber attacks. With Auto-on SafeMode governance, these snapshots are stored in a secure enclave, accessible only to designated contacts authenticated through Pure Storage Support, providing unmatched performance, durability, and scalability for instant recovery.
  • Data Security: As a crucial second layer for data stored on the Pure Storage FlashArray, the Rubrik Security Cloud offers organisations a cyber resilience platform with compliant immutable and on-site backup via the Rubrik Secure Vault. Additional capabilities–Anomaly Detection, Threat Monitoring, Threat Hunting, Sensitive Data Monitoring, User Intelligence and Orchestrated Recovery–can further accelerate recovery and minimise downtime.
  • Archival Location: The Pure Storage Platform supports the final layer of resilience, delivering massive scale-out and immutable, cost-effective storage designed for rapid recovery, even for data stored over extended periods. Both the performance-optimized FlashBlade//S™ and the economical at scale FlashBlade//E™ can be leveraged for the archival location, offering flexibility based on customer needs.

Data management and protection

Rubrik Zero report found that 66% of IT and security pioneers believe that data growth is outpacing

By 2025, the world is expected to generate 463 exabytes of data daily, making efficient data management and protection a critical priority. 

A Rubrik Zero Labs report found that 66% of IT and security pioneers believe that data growth is outpacing their ability to secure data and mitigate risk.

Approach to cyber resilience

"The partnership between Pure Storage and Rubrik couldn't come at a better time with massive data surges and tech disruptions," said Boomchi (Mathur) Kumar, Director Security Consulting - Cyber Resiliency Practice Pioneer at Trace3.

"Our global enterprise customers require a joint solution that offers a holistic approach to cyber resilience, giving them the tools necessary to defend against modern cyber threats, ensuring business continuity and recovery at scale."
