Industry Pioneers CrowdStrike And Rubrik Announce Strategic Partnership To Transform Data Security

CrowdStrike and Rubrik announced a strategic partnership to accelerate data security transformation and stop breaches of critical information.

By unifying rich, data-centric attack context from the Rubrik Security Cloud with the industry-pioneering AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform, organizations can rapidly detect, investigate, and stop attacks targeting sensitive data.

Response actions to threats 

According to the 2024 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report, adversaries continue to target sensitive information to conduct data-theft extortion attacks. At the same time, research from Rubrik conducted by Wakefield Research shows that nearly every business (98%) reporting struggles with data visibility due to complex technology stacks, creating gaps that adversaries can exploit.

To stop breaches, security teams need to rapidly identify and prioritize response actions to threats targeting an organization's most valuable data. The powerful combination of the Falcon Platform and the Rubrik Security Cloud unifies threat detection with data discovery and classification across cloud and IT infrastructure, designed to deliver the context security teams need to rapidly detect and respond to attacks on high-value data targets.

CrowdStrike’s data gravity

“CrowdStrike Falcon has become cybersecurity’s source of truth and platform of record. Our partnership with Rubrik strengthens CrowdStrike’s data gravity, unifying threat detection with data discovery, classification and backup,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike.

“Through this partnership, we’re delivering the visibility and context security teams need to prioritize and accelerate response actions required to stop breaches of sensitive information – all from a single platform.”

Significant visibility challenges

“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 Anneka Gupta, chief product officer, Rubrik.

“With CrowdStrike, we are helping our customers up the ante against cyber adversaries, allowing security teams to identify and defend against attacks swiftly – and ultimately boost cyber resilience.”
