Rubrik Unveils Turbo Threat Hunting to Combat Cyberattacks
Amidst a rise in cyberattacks causing downtime and revenue loss for businesses worldwide, Rubrik has introduced a new tool to expedite cyber recovery processes. The Rubrik Turbo Threat Hunting feature aims to help organizations swiftly identify clean recovery points within their data systems, allowing for quick recovery from cyber incidents with minimal disruption.
Recent data from Rubrik Zero Labs indicates that 60% of IT and security leaders express significant concerns regarding their ability to maintain business continuity in the event of a cyberattack. The conventional method of locating clean backups can be time-consuming, taking days or even weeks, thereby leaving organizations susceptible to prolonged outages and financial losses. In response to this challenge, Rubrik has developed Turbo Threat Hunting, enabling users to scan up to 75,000 backups in under a minute.
Anneka Gupta, Rubrik’s Chief Product Officer, emphasized the speed and efficiency of the new feature, stating, “This is the fastest way to recover from a cyberattack. With Turbo Threat Hunting, we’re not just reducing recovery times — we’re redefining what’s possible in cyber resilience. No other platform on the market can match our speed and scale, giving enterprises the confidence to quickly resume operations and protect their bottom line.”
Unlike traditional methods that scan individual objects or require navigating through multiple interfaces, Turbo Threat Hunting leverages pre-computed hashes stored within Rubrik’s metadata to scan at scale. This streamlined process eliminates the need for file-by-file scanning, enabling organizations to swiftly pinpoint clean recovery points free from malware or other threats.
Key features of Turbo Threat Hunting include pre-computed hashing for instant file identification, updating backup metadata to flag malicious files, multi-cluster scanning capabilities, and the ability to analyze the entire data environment without disruption.
The beta version of Turbo Threat Hunting is currently available for all Rubrik Enterprise Edition and cloud customers, with plans for general availability by the end of January 2025. This new tool is poised to revolutionize cyber resilience practices and provide organizations with a proactive approach to cyber recovery in an increasingly threat-filled digital landscape.
In conclusion, Rubrik’s Turbo Threat Hunting represents a significant advancement in cybersecurity technology, offering a rapid and efficient solution for organizations seeking to enhance their cyber recovery capabilities and safeguard against potential threats. As businesses continue to face evolving cyber risks, tools like Turbo Threat Hunting are essential for maintaining operational continuity and protecting valuable data assets.
