Rubrik Security Cloud

Rubrik has made ransomware resilience the architectural foundation of its platform rather than a feature. The immutable-by-design approach where no path to delete backups exists without multi-party authorisation, and the Annapurna AI platform that detects anomalies indicating active ransomware encryption before it completes, reflect a product built with the assumption that attackers will reach the backup infrastructure. Rubrik holds the highest Completeness of Vision in Gartner's backup Magic Quadrant, reflecting its forward-looking architecture.

The workload coverage is comprehensive but slightly narrower than Veeam for legacy OS and mainframe environments.

The verdict: Rubrik is right for enterprises that treat ransomware recovery as the primary backup requirement and want immutable architecture by design rather than by configuration. Organisations with the broadest legacy workload coverage requirements should evaluate Veeam or Commvault.
