Rubrik, Inc., the Zero Trust Data Security Company, today announced a new partnership with Mandiant, a cyber defense provider now part of Google Cloud. This partnership, built on three key pillars, helps enterprises quickly manage their risk against diverse, pervasive threats.

According to Mandiant’s M-Trends 2024 report, threat actors can remain undetected in victim environments for an average of 10 days, which the company says leaves ample time for a destructive attack. This gap in time, combined with the possibility of a backup infection, forces organizations into a reactive, vulnerable state.

To deliver proactive cyber resilience, the Rubirk and Mandiant partnership offers three formative components that empower enterprises. These include the integration of Mandiant Threat Intelligence with Rubrik’s Threat Monitoring Capability, the availability of Clean Room Recovery, and the merger of Rubrik Ransomware Response and Mandiant Incident Response Teams.

This collaboration will integrate Mandiant Threat Intelligence with Rubrik’s Threat Monitoring capability, enabling enterprises to identify and combat a variety of threats, including ransomware, malware, and malicious intrusions, before destructive activity occurs at scale. Rubrik’s Threat Hunting and Threat Monitoring capabilities bring a secure point of recovery to the forefront by applying Mandiant Threat Intelligence’s thousands of points of knowledge from significant breaches to every Rubrik backup, the companies said.

Through the collaboration between Rubrik and Mandiant, Rubrik Clean Room Recovery can eliminate fears of backdoor infections by providing customers with the ability to recover and store data in a clean Google Cloud or multi-cloud environment.

Finally, this partnership brings together Rubrik and Mandiant’s respective Ransomware Response and Incident Response capabilities, providing enterprise teams with additional investigation and remediation support. Rubrik’s Ransomware Response team delivers insights and expertise in data recovery and backup, while Mandiant’s Incident Response expands the ways enterprises can respond to active breaches. This provides a comprehensive, rapid response formula that enables organizations to restore business operations as quickly as possible during an attack, the companies said.

“This partnership enables organizations using Rubrik’s backup solutions to identify threats in their backups, powered by Mandiant’s industry-leading threat detection and intelligence,” said Steve Elovitz, President of Mandiant Consulting. “Together, we can help organizations before, during, and after cyberattacks to ensure businesses can respond quickly and get back up and running as quickly as possible.”

“Organizations respond to ransomware attacks with months-long remediation processes, which can cause irreparable damage to the business,” said Steve Stone, head of Rubrik Zero Labs. “With Mandiant, we can demonstrably reduce the impact of ransomware attacks while expanding the capabilities customers need to respond, from threat intelligence to rapid access to incident response teams. Together, we’re connecting the dots in times of crisis to deliver true cyber resilience.”
