Backups Are the First Target. Rubrik Assumes That.
Modern ransomware crews go after your backups before they encrypt your production data — because a company with no backups pays the ransom. Rubrik was built for exactly this world: backups that are immutable by default, logically air-gapped, and continuously scanned for signs of attack.
Why Rubrik?
-
Immutable by Architecture
Backups are written to an append-only file system. No one — not an attacker, not a rogue admin, not Rubrik itself — can encrypt or delete them.
-
Anomaly Detection Built In
Rubrik monitors backup change rates and entropy to flag encryption events, so you know which snapshot is clean before you restore.
-
Blast Radius Visibility
When an attack hits, see exactly which files, apps, and VMs were affected — and restore only what you need instead of rolling back everything.
-
Sensitive Data Discovery
Know where regulated data lives across your backups, for faster breach reporting and cleaner compliance audits.

Rubrik vs. Legacy Backup
| Question | Rubrik | Legacy backup |
|---|---|---|
| Can ransomware delete backups? | No — immutable, air-gapped by design | Often — network-attached repositories are reachable |
| Do you know which restore point is clean? | Yes — anomaly detection flags encryption | No — restore and hope |
| Recovery approach | Granular: restore only what was hit | Full rollback, losing clean data |
| Management | One SLA policy engine | Job-by-job scripting |
