If malware's hitching a ride, well, congratulations! You just scored the lead in this year's biggest sequel that nobody wants to see. Rubric Continuous Threat Monitoring ensures your backups don't come with an unwanted plot twist. Others, they're rolling the credits before the movie's even over. Let me show you why. Traditional vendors treat threat monitoring as an afterthought, leading to major problems. First, they provide only limited workload support, focusing on a very minimal set of workloads. But attackers don't stop at what's convenient. They move laterally, escalate privileges, and go after everything. Scanning only part of your data is like locking half of your doors and hoping for the best. Second, many require dedicated hardware for threat analysis. Whether it's four nodes or 40, that's a backup solution that's wasting resources on something other than backups. Add in third-party apps and agents, and it only gets more complex, costly, and inefficient. And the biggest issue? Most don't even continuously scan. If threat detection needs to be manually initiated and isn't always on, well, what's the point? Bad actors don't wait until we're ready for them. Also, many traditional vendors require us to manually update and refresh the threat detection feed. And we don't always know the exact IOCs to hunt for. So if we're required to refresh feeds, update third-party apps, and trigger our scans manually, well, we're already behind. At Rubrik, continuous means continuous. Let me show you how. As backups are ingested, Rubrik automatically scans for known IOCs and file hashes, letting you greenlight clean restore points and quarantine the infected ones without even lifting a finger. From the moment you log in, you know what's safe and what's not. And because this happens out of bound, there's zero impact on your production environment. And in some cases, Rubrik detects malware or attacker tools before they even execute, stopping attackers in their tracks. But the real game-changer? Where we get our IOC feed. By leveraging Mandiant, the world's leading incident response provider, Rubrik scans for nearly 6,000 malware families across nearly 500 known threat actors. Plus, we track 400-plus known attacker tools used for encryption and data theft. This continuous scan ensures your backups are malware-free, eliminating the reinfection risk. It applies across nearly all your workloads and restore points. No gaps. No blind spots. Need to investigate a zero-day or custom IOC that isn't in the feed? Simply provide Rubrik's Turbo Threat Hunting the hash and we'll scan thousands of backups in seconds or minutes, greatly reducing your cyber RTO. After all, downtime isn't just inconvenient, it's expensive. So, two choices. Stick with a traditional vendor where scans take forever, updates are manual, third-party agents create maintenance headaches, and you pay for idle nodes just to scan part of your environment. Or, choose Rubrik, where scans are automatic, comprehensive, and powered by world-class threat intelligence. No extra effort required, no extra hardware, just clean backups, ready for you when you need them. And hey, don't take my word for it. Visit Rubrik.com to try it out for yourself by taking one of our self-guided, hands-on labs to see how your organization can truly become cyber resilient.

TL;DR

  • Rubrik automatically scans backups for malware as they're ingested, using Mandiant threat intelligence to detect nearly 6,000 malware families and 500 threat actors without requiring manual intervention or dedicated hardware.
  • Traditional backup vendors provide limited workload coverage, require manual scan initiation, and depend on third-party agents and dedicated nodes that waste resources and create operational complexity.
  • Turbo Threat Hunting enables rapid investigation of zero-day threats by scanning thousands of backups in seconds or minutes, significantly reducing cyber recovery time and eliminating reinfection risk during restoration.

Summary

This demonstration explains how Rubrik Continuous Threat Monitoring protects backup environments from malware reinfection by automatically scanning backups as they're ingested. Unlike traditional backup vendors that require manual scanning, dedicated hardware, or third-party agents, Rubrik performs out-of-band threat detection across nearly all workloads without impacting production systems. The solution leverages Mandiant's threat intelligence feed to scan for nearly 6,000 malware families, 500 threat actors, and 400-plus attacker tools, providing immediate visibility into which restore points are clean and which are compromised. Rubrik's Turbo Threat Hunting capability enables rapid investigation of zero-day threats or custom indicators of compromise, scanning thousands of backups in seconds to dramatically reduce cyber recovery time objectives. The approach eliminates the resource waste, complexity, and coverage gaps associated with traditional backup security solutions while ensuring organizations can confidently restore from clean backups during incident response.

FAQ

How does Rubrik Continuous Threat Monitoring differ from traditional backup security solutions?

Rubrik performs automatic, continuous scanning across nearly all workloads without requiring dedicated hardware, third-party agents, or manual scan initiation. Traditional vendors typically support limited workloads, require dedicated nodes for threat analysis, and depend on manual processes to trigger scans and update threat feeds.

Does threat scanning impact production system performance?

No. Rubrik performs all threat detection out-of-band, meaning the scanning happens independently of production systems without any performance impact. The solution automatically scans backups as they're ingested and provides immediate visibility into which restore points are safe to use.
