Rubrik Innovation & Technology Culture

How does your team stay ahead of emerging technology trends while scaling fast?

We stay current by testing what’s new with a clear purpose: Will it help customers operate with confidence and help us move faster? Alongside personal learning, such as podcasts, feeds and peer networks, we run lightweight, team‑led proof of concepts to separate signal from noise. When a tool proves its value, we document it, codify the pattern, and scale it across teams. That balance of curiosity, fast experimentation and disciplined adoption lets us keep velocity without compromising excellence or brand integrity.

What recent product or feature are you most proud of — and what impact has it had?

Rubrik Agent Cloud. It started with our own AI adoption. We needed to move fast with agentic tech and still maintain governance, auditability and the ability to roll back to a known good state. We built for ourselves as customer zero, then turned those learnings into a product that helps teams accelerate AI safely and transparently. Internally, it’s already increased confidence and productivity; externally, it’s a clear signal of how we turn real problems into durable, scalable solutions.

How do you create a culture where innovation and experimentation are encouraged daily?

We make innovation part of the job, not a side project. Teams get ownership to try new approaches within clear guardrails, and we recognize both the wins and the learnings. Practically, that looks like short pilot cycles, open demo hours and documenting proven patterns so anyone can reuse them. We’ve also added “AI leverage and knowledge sharing” as a dimension in performance, rewarding curiosity, clarity and impact. The result is a high‑trust culture where people can ship faster, learn together, and keep our standards high.

Rubrik’s seventh consecutive Leader recognition reflects its focus on building a unified cyber-resilience platform for the AI era. The company combines data protection, identity resilience and AI-agent governance to help organizations prepare for attacks, identify clean recovery points and restore operations quickly.

“Twelve years ago, Rubrik predicted that the greatest threat to enterprise data would be active adversaries, and eventually, the very autonomous agents trusted to run modern operations. Today, legacy backup solutions are no longer sufficient. Organizations require complete cyber resilience that spans data protection, identity resilience, and agent governance to defend their businesses from AI-powered attacks.”

—Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman and Co-Founder

Rubrik is extending enterprise security and resilience to AI agents through Rubrik Agent Cloud for Claude Code and Claude Cowork. The platform helps organizations monitor agent access, govern autonomous actions, reverse unintended changes and recover both code repositories and the configurations that determine how Claude agents behave.

“Rubrik Agent Cloud gives organizations a resilience layer for Claude, which allows them to see what agents can access, govern what they do.”

Rubrik joined the Coalition for Health AI to help advance responsible AI development, deployment and adoption across healthcare. Through the coalition, Rubrik will contribute its expertise in cyber resilience and AI governance as healthcare organizations work to protect sensitive patient data, maintain operational continuity and establish stronger safeguards for autonomous AI systems.

“The potential for AI to transform healthcare is immense, but scaling it responsibly requires strict guardrails, timely operational recovery, and the ability to comprehensively monitor, govern, and rewind AI actions.”
