What is our primary use case?
I have been working with Rubrik Data Security Posture since 2016-2017. I have been working with Rubrik Data Security Posture within the last 12 months as well and have about three to four years of experience overall.
We are an SI for Rubrik and I do most of the architectural work, and I am well-versed with this product.
My usual use cases for Rubrik Data Security Posture involve data protection, which is tied to Cyber Resiliency and data security. I believe Rubrik is in a better position to deliver on functions such as protection, detection, and recoverability should something go wrong.
I use Rubrik Data Security Posture both internally in my company and with external customers, as we normally sell this to external customers as well.
What is most valuable?
The features of Rubrik Data Security Posture that I have found most valuable include its better detect function for anomalies and cyber threats, along with immutability by default, operating system hardening, MFA, and all the other ZTNA functions, which align well with our needs.
Regarding the anomaly detection feature in Rubrik Data Security Posture, the product has a threat detect function that you can run on-demand or by default to identify anomalies, and allows you to perform deeper analysis using YARA rules or other indicators of compromise to determine if a threat is actual or a false positive.
I leverage Rubrik's unified dashboard for proactive threat detection and remediation, which I find absolutely fantastic and unmatched compared to other dashboards, allowing visibility into a hybrid environment on a single pane of glass.
The positive impact I've seen from using Rubrik Data Security Posture is its superior detection of threats from primary backups, which is built-in and requires minimal setup compared to other tools that need separate scanning engines.
What needs improvement?
I assess the effectiveness of Rubrik's sensitive data discovery in my data security strategy as functional but limited, as it identifies sensitive data but lacks clarity on what actions to take next.
I would to see improvements in data discovery capabilities for sensitive data, especially regarding the next actions after identification. The right word is to action the sensitive data rather than just processing it.
In my opinion, Rubrik lacks an air gap functionality since they mention a logical air gap, but what is needed for data security is a clearer air gap solution.
