Description

Introduction

In today’s digital landscape, protecting data against evolving cyber threats, including ransomware, is critical. Rubrik provides an integrated approach to secure data across on-premises and cloud environments. This training focuses on security best practices and ransomware detection capabilities in Rubrik’s cloud-integrated platform. Participants will gain hands-on knowledge of how Rubrik ensures data immutability, compliance, and rapid recovery in the event of a cyberattack.

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to implement and manage security configurations, detect suspicious activity, and respond effectively to potential ransomware threats in Rubrik-managed cloud environments.

Prerequisites

1. Basic understanding of Rubrik architecture and core components.
2. Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
3. Basic knowledge of cybersecurity concepts, including ransomware and malware threats.
4. Experience with backup and recovery operations in Rubrik is recommended but not mandatory.
5. Access to a Rubrik environment for hands-on practice (sandbox or lab environment recommended).
