US-based Rubrik Transforms Data Security Platform into AI Agents, Launches Claude Control Layer

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rubrik Inc. has transformed its data security platform into autonomous agents and officially launched a control layer for Anthropic PBC's Claude, marking the core of a series of updates announced at the Rubrik Forward conference in Las Vegas.

The common focus of these updates is that as enterprises delegate more tasks to AI agents, the critical question becomes how quickly an organization can recover when an agent, or an agent compromised by an attacker, causes damage. Rubrik positions itself as a "security and AI operations company" and addresses this challenge with its own agents.

At the core is Rubrik AI, which the company says provides an agent-first interface for its platforms on Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik Agent Cloud. Customers define business outcomes, and the software reasons and executes actions based on their data, identities, and deployed agents. The design is patent-pending. It operates on a single agent model that spans two product suites and applies guardrails designed to make every autonomous operation auditable, attributable, and reversible, executing multi-step recovery sequences that previously required weeks of human team effort.

Bipul Sinha, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Rubrik, stated: "Today, Rubrik has become an agent. Our Agentic Cyber Resilience is designed to mitigate risks from external AI attacks and internal agent deployments. Rubrik AI will provide agent automation to defend against machine-speed cyber intrusions and compromised AI agents."

Additionally, Rubrik is making Agent Cloud for Claude Code and Claude Cowork generally available. Built on the broader Agent Cloud launched by Rubrik in October last year, this service targets a specific gap: AI agents now autonomously write, push, and deploy code, while most enterprise security designs assume human involvement. The company says this gap opens the door to machine-speed malicious commits, repository ransomware, prompt injection, and intellectual property theft.

The Claude version focuses on a few key features. The company's governance engine, SAGE (short for Semantic AI Governance Engine), applies intent-driven controls to autonomous agents in real-time, replacing static human oversight. Agent inventory maps risks, access permissions, and policy violations across deployed agents. Agent Rewind can undo any unintended actions by an agent, including those built in Claude Code and Cowork, a capability the company claims is unique in the industry.

Two features delve deeper into developer workflows. Codebase Resilience maintains continuous immutable snapshots of GitHub and Azure DevOps repositories, stored outside the repository. If an agent or attacker force-pushes to overwrite commit history or deletes all branches, Rubrik can roll back the code to a known good state. The company says this covers ransomware rollback for code. A second layer backs up and version-tracks configurations that control how Claude agents behave, including system prompts, tool permissions, skills, and files like CLAUDE.md, then monitors for drift and flags malicious changes before they propagate.

Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, said: "Organizations are adopting Claude faster than any agent technology we've seen, and every security leader asks the same question: when agents can act, how do we maintain control? Rubrik Agent Cloud provides a resilience layer for Claude, allowing them to see what agents can access, manage their behavior, undo their actions, and recover code and the agents' own configurations when something is compromised or tampered with."

To bring the Claude service to large enterprises, Rubrik also announced Project Hourglass, a partner program where six global system integrators will resell and embed Agent Cloud for Claude Code. Launch partners include Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Deloitte & Touche LLP, LTM Ltd., HCL Technologies Ltd., NTT Data Inc., and Wipro Ltd. Rubrik provides them with joint marketing support, certified channels, and access to its engineering team. Several have stated they are integrating the service into their own AI platforms and frameworks, including Cognizant's Neuro AI platform, Deloitte's Ascend delivery platform, and HCLTech's VERITY Frontier AI resilience framework.

This agent push is underscored by urgency from Rubrik's own research division. The company cites data from Rubrik Zero Labs showing that 86% of cybersecurity leaders expect AI agents to surpass their security guardrails within the next year, and another finding that 88% of leaders worry about failing to meet recovery time objectives as agent threats increase.

Rubrik extends the recovery story to cloud applications. Autonomous Business Recovery for Cloud Applications, now in private preview, is built on what the company calls the Preemptive Recovery Engine, designed to rebuild an organization's "minimum viable business" after an attack, rather than recovering individual resources one at a time. The system maps applications and their dependencies during normal operations, validates clean recovery points, and pre-builds recovery plans, then sequentially rebuilds network, compute, and data when an incident occurs. Rubrik cites a Gartner prediction that by 2030, 35% of organizations will use cloud application infrastructure recovery tools, up from less than 5% this year. Gupta stated: "Recovering data is not the same as recovering the business. If the application isn't running, recovery has failed. Machine-speed attacks make the old all-or-nothing recovery unsustainable."

The company is also entering the AI data pipeline through the next phase of Rubrik Annapurna, positioning it as an AI-ready layer for unstructured data. Annapurna scans and indexes billions of files in-place across network-attached storage and object storage, then publishes a queryable catalog into a lakehouse so data teams can extract only the subsets needed for training and inference. This approach aims to avoid copying entire data assets and the extract, transform, and load work that keeps most enterprise files out of AI systems. The company says unstructured data accounts for about 90% of a typical enterprise footprint. Annapurna is now available for qualified enterprise partners, with future versions offering native lakehouse connectors.

Availability varies by product. Agent Cloud for Claude Code is generally available, Annapurna is open to qualified partners, and Autonomous Business Recovery is in private preview. Rubrik notes in its safe harbor statement that the mentioned features may not be released as planned or at all. These announcements follow Rubrik's report last week of first-quarter revenue exceeding expectations and an upward revision of its outlook. The company expanded agent governance work with Google LLC at Google Cloud Next in April and established a partnership with CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. on identity resilience last year.
