Modern cyber threats make one thing clear: data compromise is no longer a possibility, it’s an eventuality.
Breaches become inevitable as attackers refine their tactics, leaving your business exposed to ransomware, data corruption, and insider threats. Cyber resilience means ensuring your data remains trustworthy and recoverable when those moments come.
That’s where the right preparation makes all the difference. Together, Rubrik and Wasabi offer zero-trust architecture, immutable storage, and predictable costs -helping organisations strengthen resilience, protect critical data, and bounce back fast without paying twice in ransoms or hidden fees.
Performance and Stability
While blocking threats is critical, it is not the only aspect of resilience. True cyber resilience ensures that you can trust your data and access it quickly when issues arise. As data becomes dispersed across clouds and SaaS applications, the risk of loss and delayed recovery increases.
Rubrik and Wasabi offer a practical solution. Rubrik emphasizes zero-trust data security, immutable backups, and guided recovery to a known good state. Wasabi provides storage that is both hard to tamper with and easy to access. Additionally, Wasabi for Rubrik scales to PBs, integrates as ‘local’ storage, and there are no unexpected egress or API costs that hinder testing and delay recovery processes.
Pillar 1: Lock down data by design
Rubrik ensures architectural immutability and governance, meaning backups are write-once. Access is tightly controlled through authenticated APIs and defined user roles. With SLA Retention Lock, even privileged users can’t shorten or remove retention policies behind the scenes.
Wasabi adds an additional layer of protection with storage-level immutability that integrates seamlessly with Rubrik. You can implement immutability either at the bucket level (Compliance) or at the object‑version level (Object Lock). While Object Lock is not the default for new buckets, it can be easily set at new bucket creation. Choose either Governance or Compliance mode to meet operational or regulatory requirements.
Together, Rubrik's platform-level immutability and Wasabi's Object Lock, MFA, and Multi-User Authentication (MUA) significantly reduce the risk of tampering or destructive account/bucket deletions.
Pillar 2: Cost effectively while identifying and managing risk
Rubrik provides visibility where it matters most. Data Security Posture Management identifies risky configurations and overly permissive access. Anomaly detection and ransomware investigations help you understand what changed, when it changed, and how broadly it affected your system, enabling you to select a trustworthy restore point.
Wasabi removes the cost barriers associated with maintaining recommended security practices. With no egress or API request fees, you can frequently validate backups and rehearse full recoveries without budget constraints, making testing a regular, routine process.
Pillar 3: Recover quickly and confidently
When time is of the essence, Rubrik orchestrates recovery from clean snapshots across applications and datasets. This approach minimizes downtime and reduces cross-team delays.
Wasabi ensures that the golden copy of your data remains intact. When object lock is activated, the stored backup is immutable and indelible (meaning data cannot be altered or deleted) during the retention period. Access to the data is immediate and predictable, allowing you to scale restores without concern for unexpected costs.
Bottom line
Cyber attacks are inevitable, but data loss and costly downtime don’t have to be. By combining Rubrik’s zero-trust architecture and guided recovery with immutable, cost-predictable cloud storage from Wasabi, you can shift from hoping breaches won’t happen to knowing you can bounce back fast when they do.
Together, Rubrik and Wasabi give IT leaders the tools to assume breach, maintain clean backups, and recover with confidence - without paying twice in hidden fees or ransom demands.
