Key Terms
immutable backupstechnical
Immutable backups are copies of a company’s data that cannot be altered or deleted once written, like putting documents into a locked safe that cannot be reopened. For investors, they matter because they reduce the risk of catastrophic data loss, fraud or ransomware shutting down operations, support regulatory compliance, and help ensure the business can resume quickly—factors that protect revenue, reputation and long-term value.
air-gapped backupstechnical
Air-gapped backups are copies of a company’s important data stored on systems that are physically isolated from the internet and internal networks, like keeping records in a locked safe that has no phone line. They matter to investors because they reduce the risk that hackers or software failures can destroy or corrupt financial records and operations, helping ensure continuity, protect value, and lower the chance of unexpected costs or downtime.
disaster recoverytechnical
A plan and set of actions a company uses to restore its critical systems, data, facilities and operations after a major disruption such as a natural disaster, cyberattack or infrastructure failure. Investors care because strong disaster recovery reduces the chance of prolonged downtime, unexpected costs and lost revenue — like a business’s emergency backup and repairs that protect value, reputation and future cash flow.
ransomwaretechnical
Ransomware is malicious software that locks or encrypts a company’s computer files and systems, then demands payment for their release — like a thief changing the locks on a business and asking for a ransom. It matters to investors because attacks can halt operations, trigger large cleanup costs, damage customer trust, lead to regulatory fines or legal claims, and reduce future revenue, all of which can hurt a company’s financial value.
tag-based SLA policiestechnical
Tag-based SLA policies assign simple labels (tags) to systems, applications, or data and then attach service promises—like required uptime, response time, or backup frequency—based on those labels. For investors, they matter because they help companies prioritize resources, reduce downtime risk and unexpected costs, and make operational guarantees easier to audit and enforce; think of tags as priority stickers that determine which promises get the most attention.
PostgreSQLtechnical
PostgreSQL is a widely used open-source database system that stores, organizes and retrieves structured data for applications, like a digital filing cabinet with a smart librarian that finds and updates records quickly. For investors, it matters because the choice and performance of a database affect a company’s product reliability, scaling capacity, operating costs and security posture, which in turn influence revenue potential and risk.
Rubrik Security Cloud provides enterprise security and recovery for PostgreSQL databases
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK), the Security and AI Operations Company, announced today it is now offering cyber resilience capabilities to organizations running Google Cloud SQL. The integration enables Cloud SQL customers to leverage Rubrik Security Cloud to protect their managed PostgreSQL databases with immutable, automated backups that add Rubrik’s enterprise-grade cyber resilience without disrupting their current database operations or recovery strategy.
Cloud SQL has become a foundational database service for enterprise applications, housing some of organizations' most critical production workloads. As these databases grow, so do customer requirements for comprehensive cyber resilience. The new integration delivers Rubrik’s enterprise-grade protection for Cloud SQL, helping joint customers defend against ransomware with air-gapped backups and rapid cross-region recovery at scale.
“Organizations shouldn't have to choose between cyber resilience and disaster recovery,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “With Google Cloud, we're giving our joint customers immutable backups that work alongside their existing disaster recovery strategy, so they can meet compliance requirements, protect against threats, and recover fast, all without changing their architecture.”
Key Features with Rubrik Security Cloud for Google Cloud SQL:
Unified cyber resilience: Manage Cloud SQL protection alongside Google Workspace, Google Compute Engine, and Google Kubernetes Engine from a single, intuitive interface.
Automated discovery and protection: Automatically discover new Cloud SQL instances and apply global policies.
Backup without tradeoffs: Delivers immutable backups that add enterprise-grade cyber resilience without disrupting existing database operations or disaster recovery strategies, and with no limit on retention periods.
Storage class flexibility: Choose Google Cloud Storage Archive, Coldline, or Nearline for backups to align cost with actual usage.
Meet compliance objectives: Use tag-based SLA policies to enforce consistent retention across every instance to meet compliance requirements automatically.
Rubrik Zero Labs found that organizations are facing an increased wave of cyberattacks, with 90% of IT and security leaders reporting cyberattacks in the previous year. The study also revealed that 35% of IT leaders cite securing data across varied ecosystems as their top challenge, followed closely by a lack of centralized management and visibility over cloud-based data. Rubrik Security Cloud for Cloud SQL provides resilience with a unified, automated approach for PostgreSQL databases, and addresses a growing need for protection in regulated industries that are scaling managed databases.
