What is Zero Trust Data Management?
An estimated 2 out of 3 ransomware attacks now target backups. That’s why it’s vital to ensure your backups are 100% protected and resilient. With zero trust data management no one is trustworthy. No user. No application. No device. To meet this new standard, data must be natively immutable so that it can never be modified, encrypted, or deleted by ransomware. Data needs to be ready at all times so you can recover what you need, and never pay a ransom.

Der nächste Schritt auf deinem Weg zum Erfolg: Deine Zukunft bei Rubrik

As organizations rely on more critical cloud workloads every day, there's often uncertainty about who's responsible for protecting what. The shared responsibility model is clear in theory but gets murky in practice, leaving gaps that can expose your data when you least expect it.

Join us for an honest conversation between Rubrik and AWS as they break down the shared responsibility model that every cloud customer needs to understand. We'll cut through the confusion about who protects what, reveal the most common gaps that leave organizations exposed, and share practical strategies to ensure your data survives the next cyber incident.

From Confusion to Confidence: Is Your Data Really Protected? A Fireside Chat on Customer Cloud Data Protection

Is your current cloud backup solution truly prepared for a sophisticated cyberattack?
With attack surfaces expanding and threats growing more complex, relying solely on traditional backup can lead to extended downtime and significant business disruption. It's time to elevate your strategy.

This webinar will guide you through the essential elements of modern cyber resilience for your cloud workloads. We'll address common challenges such as the alarming rise in cloud breaches, the difficulty in pinpointing clean data after an attack, and the increasing speed of attackers.

You'll learn practical strategies to:

Understand the critical differences between basic backup and comprehensive cyber resilience.

Proactively strengthen your defenses against attacks in the cloud.

Significantly reduce the time it takes to identify clean recovery points and restore your critical systems.

Gain better visibility over your cloud data to minimize risks.

We'll also showcase through a brief demonstration how modern approaches can help you confidently and quickly recover your cloud applications and data in the face of a cyber event.

Beyond Backup: Building True Cloud Cyber Resilience with Rubrik

The AI Identity Crisis
Join the cybersecurity visionaries you know and love — Matt Johansen and Ashish Rajan — in this virtual session as they explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of identity, from the alarming rise of NHIs to sophisticated social engineering tactics perfected by groups like Scattered Spider. Join in on this interactive discussion where these experts will  share challenges, solutions, and discuss how we can collaboratively build a stronger, more resilient security posture.
During this virtual event, we'll dive into:
AI's Role in Identity Attacks: Understand deepfakes, advanced phishing, and the tactics of groups like Scattered Spider.
Proactive Identity Resilience: Explore a comprehensive approach to securing all facets of identity across your organization.

The AI Identity Crisis

Your S3 buckets, EFS volumes, and Azure Blob storage are growing exponentially. Your business-critical applications – from data analytics to AI/ML pipelines – depend on this unstructured data. But here's the problem: the cloud-native backup tools you're relying on today won't save you when sophisticated attackers strike.

Recent attacks like Codefinger have shown how easily ransomware can disable S3 versioning and purge backup history. Geographic replication fails when attackers compromise shared authentication systems. And snapshots stored in production environments become just another target for deletion.

This isn't theoretical. Organizations are discovering these limitations during actual attacks – when it's too late. The result? Recovery processes that take weeks instead of hours, with no guarantee that restored data won't reintroduce dormant threats.

In this session, you'll discover:

Why traditional protection methods fail – Real-world case studies showing how attackers bypass versioning, replication, and snapshots

The hidden scope of data sprawl – How unstructured data across multi-cloud environments creates visibility blind spots that attackers exploit

What cyber recovery actually means – The fundamental difference between operational recovery and protection against sophisticated threats

Technical architecture for resilience – How to implement immutable, air-gapped protection that can't be compromised

Practical recovery strategies – Moving from "hoping your backup works" to confident, threat-free recovery at scale

Cloud Native Tools Aren't Enough: Cyber Recovery for Your Application-Dependent Unstructured Data

In today's threat landscape, traditional M365 data protection is no longer enough as modern adversaries like Scattered Spider weaponize compromised identities to attack M365 environments.
With a staggering 275% year-over-year increase in ransomware attacks on Microsoft customers, it's clear that your cyber resilience must start with a robust identity recovery plan and proactive Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). 

During this session, we’ll explore how attackers exploit identity gaps to gain access and steal sensitive data and provide guidance on how to protect against these sophisticated threats.

Join us to learn how to:

Build a resilient M365 defense by unifying data protection and identity recovery.

Proactively manage data risk and secure sensitive information with DSPM.

Develop an orchestrated plan to recover Active Directory and Entra ID, the "keys to the kingdom," quickly and cleanly.

Securing M365 Data and Identity Systems Against Modern Adversaries

You've invested heavily in your customer experience with seamless applications - trading platforms processing millions in transactions, mobile banking apps serving customers 24/7, payment systems handling critical operations. But all of these have invisible dependencies that could bring your business to a halt. 

Your financial applications don't just store files in Amazon S3, they rely on S3 data to function, and when that data gets compromised by a cyber attack, you don't just lose files - your business-critical apps go offline and customer trust is lost. 

Most teams think AWS handles this protection, but the shared responsibility model has a dangerous gap: you're responsible for protecting the application data that keeps your business running, and traditional Amazon S3 features weren't built for cyber recovery.

In this webinar, you'll learn how to:

Ensure critical financial services application availability despite Amazon S3 attacks or data loss events

Reduce application recovery time from days to hours

Demonstrate application data recoverability and data governance for regulatory compliance

Scale application protection automatically with business growth

The Hidden Risk for Financial Services: The Invisible Thread Between Amazon S3 & Business Continuity
