Rubrik expands $5m warranty pledge to include Cloud Vault

The security vendor says its partners can go to market with its $5m ransomware data recovery warranty

Rubrik has expanded its ransomware warranty to include its Microsoft Azure-based Cloud Valut offering for critical data.

The vendor claims customers using Rubrik Cloud Vault, built on Microsoft Azure, can benefit from the assurance that Rubrik will pay up to $5m in recovery-related costs in the event Rubrik is unable to recover secured data.

"We are so confident we can keep our customers' businesses moving forward regardless of the attack, that we are expanding our Ransomware Recovery Warranty to include Rubrik Cloud Vault," said Rubrik co-founder and CEO, Bipul Sinha.

"Whether your data lives within your enterprise or in the cloud, you're backed by a warranty and assurance that your data will be secure and available no matter what."

As ransomware continues to impact companies across every industry, Rubrik Cloud Vault delivers a fully managed, secure, and isolated cloud vault service built on Microsoft Azure.

Through the integration with Microsoft Azure, Rubrik Cloud Vault simplifies air-gapping of critical data and provides end-to-end data immutability to ensure data is not compromised, corrupted, or maliciously deleted.

Rubrik launched what it has dubbed "the industry's first" Ransomware Recovery Warranty in late 2021 to give customers added assurance that their data secured in Rubrik's Enterprise Edition would be recoverable, regardless of cyber incidents or natural disasters.

Rubrik's Warranty offerings cover expenses related to data recovery and restoration in the event that Rubrik is unable to recover data following a ransomware attack.

Relationship with Microsoft

Rubrik and Microsoft have had a long-standing relationship for some time.

Most recently, the tech giant made an equity investment in Rubrik as part of a deeper partnership between the two in order to address the exponential rise in ransomware attacks.

The strategic agreement included go to market activities and co-engineered projects which involved Rubrik's zero trust protection solutions being delivered in Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
