Enhance Nutanix AHV security with Rubrik Cyber Recovery

Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security™ Company announces its Rubrik Cyber Recovery capabilities are available for Nutanix AHV, a modern and secure virtualisation platform that powers both virtual machines (VMs) and containers on-premises and in public clouds.

With Rubrik Cyber Recovery, Nutanix AHV users can confidently test and validate their recovery plans in clean rooms and expedite their forensic investigations, helping to provide cyber resilience following a cyberattack.

Nutanix platform

According to the most recent Rubrik Zero Labs report, 83% of all organisations’ encrypted data observed by Rubrik is within a virtualised architecture, such as Nutanix. While the Nutanix platform is inherently secure with native features such as automated threat and anomaly detection, role-based access control, lifecycle management, and micro-segmentation - a “defence in depth” strategy with multiple layers of security provides holistic protection.

Rubrik Cyber Recovery addresses this need by enabling administrators to plan, test, and validate cyber recovery plans regularly and recover quickly in the event of a cyberattack.

Secure and intelligent virtualisation solutions

“As both the hypervisor and cybersecurity markets continue to rapidly evolve, organisations are seeking the most secure and intelligent virtualisation solutions to store their critical business data and mitigate risk in the face of cyberattacks and unexpected downtime,” said Lee Caswell, senior vice president of product and solutions marketing at Nutanix.

“As a distributed system designed for the hybrid cloud, Nutanix AHV is engineered for unrivaled ease of use with fully integrated security. Rubrik Cyber Recovery provides that extra layer of cyber preparedness, and together, we help organisations take on their most complex enterprise IT challenges.”

Key benefits of Rubrik Cyber Recovery for Nutanix AHV

• Test cyber recovery readiness in a clean room: Create pre-defined recovery plans and automate recovery validation and testing, ensuring recovery takes place in the desired order, contains necessary dependencies and prerequisites, and performs desired network changes.
• Orchestrate rapid recovery to production: Easily identify clean point-in-time snapshots using Rubrik data threat analytics, drastically reducing the time required to restore business operations.
• Expedite forensic investigations: Get visibility into suspicious activity using Rubrik data threat analytics, drastically reducing the time required to identify the best recovery point for forensics, and leverage out-of-band management to rapidly instantiate data and systems into clean rooms with ease. 

Cyber recovery

“Identifying the right snapshot for cyber recovery has historically been a cumbersome and manual process. As a result, cyber recovery testing is rarely done, if at all which can lead to a world of stress during a cyberattack,” said Anneka Gupta, chief product officer at Rubrik.

“Rubrik Cyber Recovery removes the headache by providing threat analytics that pinpoint suitable recovery points and clones the data to a secure, isolated environment. By extending this capability to Nutanix AHV users, Rubrik delivers even more protection to data in virtualised environments to help organisations quickly restore their critical business operations.”
