Rubrik Expands Cyber Resilience Capabilities for Google Cloud SQL

Rubrik has announced the launch of new cyber resilience capabilities for organizations using Google Cloud SQL, strengthening protection for PostgreSQL databases in cloud environments.

The integration enables enterprises to leverage Rubrik Security Cloud to safeguard critical workloads with immutable, automated backups, enhancing protection against cyber threats such as ransomware—without disrupting existing database operations.

Strengthening Cloud Database Security

As Cloud SQL continues to serve as a core platform for enterprise applications, the demand for robust data protection and rapid recovery solutions has grown significantly.

The new offering introduces:

• Air-gapped backups to defend against ransomware attacks
• Rapid cross-region recovery for improved business continuity
• Seamless integration with existing disaster recovery strategies

Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, said the solution is designed to eliminate trade-offs between resilience and recovery.

“Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between cyber resilience and disaster recovery. This integration allows customers to protect data, meet compliance requirements, and recover quickly—without changing their architecture,” she said.

Key Features of the Integration

The solution introduces a range of enterprise-grade capabilities, including:

• Unified cyber resilience: Manage protection across services like Google Workspace, Google Compute Engine, and Google Kubernetes Engine from a single interface
• Automated discovery: Detect and secure new Cloud SQL instances automatically
• Immutable backups: Ensure tamper-proof data protection with flexible retention options
• Storage optimisation: Support for multiple tiers within Google Cloud storage
• Compliance automation: Policy-based retention management to meet regulatory requirements

Addressing Rising Cyber Threats

According to insights from Rubrik Zero Labs, 90% of IT and security leaders reported experiencing cyberattacks in the past year, while 35% cited data security across complex ecosystems as a major challenge.

The new solution aims to address these concerns by providing a centralised, automated approach to securing cloud-based data, particularly for organisations operating in highly regulated industries.

Supporting the Future of Cloud Security

With enterprises increasingly adopting managed database services, solutions like Rubrik Security Cloud for Cloud SQL are becoming essential to ensure data resilience, compliance, and operational continuity.

Rubrik showcased its latest innovations at Google Cloud Next, highlighting its ongoing focus on securing modern cloud environments.

The launch reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering scalable, enterprise-grade security solutions as organisations navigate an evolving threat landscape.
