CrowdStrike and Rubrik announce data security partnership
The new strategic partnership combines Rubrik’s Security Cloud with CrowdStrike’s Falcon XDR platform.
Security companies Rubrik and CrowdStrike have announced a partnership that will allow the two to combine their leading platforms.
According to CrowdStrike, combining Rubrik Security Cloud with the CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform will give organizations the ability to “rapidly detect, investigate, and stop attacks targeting sensitive data.”
The combination of the two platforms will unify threat detection, discovery and data classification and provide security teams with greater context when it comes to incident response.
Daniel Bernard, CrowdStrike’s chief commercial officer, said the partnership with Rubrik “strengthens CrowdStrike’s data severity, unifying threat detection with data discovery, classification and backup.”
“Through this partnership, we provide the visibility and context security teams need to prioritize and accelerate the response actions necessary to stop breaches of sensitive information, all from a single platform,” Bernard said in a statement.
Anneka Gupta, chief product officer at Rubrik, said the partnership was a response to problems with legacy backup software.
“Legacy backup tools are not designed for modern cyberattacks and many organizations are now paying the price. The gap between threat detection, data discovery and classification creates significant visibility challenges for security teams defending critical data,” said Gupta.
“With CrowdStrike, we’re helping our customers up the ante against cyber adversaries, enabling security teams to quickly identify and defend against attacks and ultimately increase cyber resilience.”
