At this point, it is clear: cyber attacks from nation-state adversaries persistently threaten local, state, and federal governments, as well as educational institutions. It is not a matter of if bad actors can penetrate existing security controls, as they are already doing so and will continue to do so. Whether it is due to one unpatched machine or one user clicking on a link in an email, we believe cyberattacks are inevitable.

We are in a new global AI race to unlock new, knowledge-based capabilities at a scale never before seen. Companies like OpenAI have proven that early movers reap outsized rewards, so speed is of the essence.

In the landscape of modern application development and deployment, Kubernetes has transcended its adoption phase to become a cornerstone technology for organizations worldwide. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a staggering 96% of organizations are actively using or evaluating Kubernetes, with over 5.6 million developers worldwide embracing its capabilities.

With the growing volume of data and increasing cost of breaches, organizations must find ways to manage and protect their ever-expanding datasets. To address this escalating threat landscape, Rubrik and CrowdStrike have joined forces to redefine cyber defense, with several integration points between our platforms. This partnership is not about bolting on more security tools; rather, it's about gaining more leverage out of what customers already have.

You are the CISO of a leading financial services firm serving a large number of clients with substantial assets. You process a massive volume of data every day, and much of it is sensitive: customer account information, social security numbers, and other PII.

Hackers move fast. The cybersecurity industry works hard to move as fast (or faster) than hackers. And regulators work to keep pace. In 2017, the New York Department of Financial Services enacted the sector’s most ambitious set of cybersecurity regulations: 23 NYCRR Part 500. These “Part 500” rules have been updated to reflect the evolving threat landscape, the most recent change (“Amendment 2”) implemented in December 2023 to address emerging cybersecurity needs.

In 2022 alone, there was a staggering 70% increase in malicious events across all public clouds. And cybercriminals are specifically targeting one of the most critical assets of any organization - its data. According to an 2023 IBM report, 82% of breaches involved data stored in the cloud. So this begs the question, which tools do defenders have at their disposal to address these mounting threats?

An alternate point of view to the one you are hearing My first reaction when I heard the news of the merger between Veritas and Cohesity was one of jubilation. I've personally battled Cohesity and Veritas. I thought to myself, this is actually great news for all three companies.

In today's digital age, organizations are using data in innovative ways to understand their businesses and generate new value, making data the lifeblood of every operation. As a result, data is growing at an unprecedented rate across on-premises, SaaS, and multi-cloud environments. However, this rapid growth presents significant challenges for organizations, as they often struggle to identify sensitive or regulated data, where it’s located, and who has access to it.

Rubrik is on a mission to secure the world’s data. And our customers are at the very heart of that mission. Everything we do is with you, our customer, in mind, ensuring continual value in every step of our journey. We are dedicated to constant innovation in data security and know that simplification and automation of cyber detection and recovery is top of mind for organizations as cyber incidents are increasingly frequent and attacks are quickly evolving.
