Abstract/Summary:
Challenge: Every company in every industry is challenged with securing their organization's most critical asset (data) from potential threats (internal/external) in a time where data is growing at its fastest rate ever across a complex IT landscape. In fact, 66% of IT leaders express that data is outpacing their ability to keep up, putting companies at risk of having their sensitive or proprietary data exposed, opening themselves up to civil/regulatory fines as well as cyber attacks.

Rubrik Solution: Data Resilience for the Enterprise
Rubrik is uniquely positioned to help companies solve this challenge by providing true data resilience with our combination of proactive data security and data recovery. By taking a data centric approach to security, we empower companies to prioritize their most critical data assets, identifying data that's unprotected, misplaced, or overexposed, so they can take the proper steps to reduce risk. As a last line of protection, we help companies recover critical data quickly with a 24x7 ransomware response team to bounce back quickly and minimize the impact to their business.
