Rubrik takes big leap towards protecting data, securing future
At its much-awaited global event focused on cybersecurity and AI — Forward 2026 — Rubrik, the US-headquartered security and AI operations company, took a major leap forward when it announced the launch of Rubrik AI, transforming its platform with agentic-first experiences to operate at AI speed. Rubrik AI adapts to each organisation’s context and security threats and autonomously acts at machine speed across Rubrik’s product portfolio.
Apart from Rubrik AI, the NYSE-listed company founded by four NRIs, announced other major launches and tie-ups at its flagship event held at Las Vegas. With AI adoption being taken up at a massive scale, threats and cyber attacks are also growing multi-fold. The rush to adopt enterprise AI is expanding the attack surface in ways that static controls and legacy recovery plans weren’t built for. To meet these challenges at scale, every year Rubrik brings together the global security and IT community to address these challenges at scale at Rubrik Forward.
“Today, Rubrik becomes an agent. Our Agentic Cyber Resilience is designed to mitigate risks from both external AI attacks and internal agent deployments. Rubrik AI will deliver agentic automation to enable resilience against machine-speed cyber breaches and compromised AI agents,” said Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman and Co-Founder, Rubrik.
From day one, Rubrik built an API-first platform to provide the industry’s leading cyber resilience for customers. Now, the company has innovated the Rubrik platform even further for the agentic era. Rubrik AI powers a new way of interaction with Rubrik’s solution suites that is fully agent first: Customers define the business outcomes, and Rubrik AI reasons and autonomously acts to deliver those outcomes.
Other major announcements at the mega event include launch of Rubrik Agent Cloud (RAC) for Anthropic’s Claude Code and Claude Cowork; unveiling of the next stage Annapurna, establishing the AI-ready unstructured data layer for enterprise Data Intelligence platforms of choice; and the launch of Autonomous Business Recovery (ABR) for Cloud Applications, the agentic cyber resilience solution that recovers cloud applications from data to network, identity and configurations.
Rubrik also introduced two new Identity Resilience capabilities to expand its product suite -- Identity Continuity which is powered by the acquisition of Strata.io, which enables organizations to secure, modernize, and manage human and agent identities without disrupting existing infrastructure; and Identity Roll Forward, industry-first capabilities, and fully developed in-house.
Rubrik also announced, Project Hourglass, an alliance with elite Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) to deliver Rubrik Agent Cloud for Anthropic’s Claude Code to their enterprise clients.
GSI leaders, including Cognizant, Deloitte, LTM, HCLTech, NTT Data, and Wipro, are integrating Rubrik Agent Cloud (RAC) into their cybersecurity and digital transformation architectures. Project Hourglass addresses the critical security and operational risks associated with autonomous AI agents across the modern enterprise.
