Rubrik Extends Support for Google Workspace, Microsoft Defender

Security and AI operations company, Rubrik, has announced the launch of Rubrik Data Protection for Google Workspace, as well as a new integration with Microsoft Defender.

Rubrik Data Protection for Google Workspace

This new cyber resilience platform is among the first for Google Workspace, providing customers with protection across data, identity, and AI.

Rubrik Data Protection works to speed the recovery of operations to minutes, from days, while keeping original data and systems intact.

Google Workspace customers can benefit from the following Rubrik features:

• Logical air-gap protection: Immutable, air-gapped backups for Gmail and Google Drive.
• High-fidelity, rapid recovery: Instead of manual, destructive restores that strip permissions.
• Automated, policy-driven SLAs: Gain of additional layers of protection to meet strict RPO and RTO requirements.
• Seamless continuity: Rubrik’s “point-and-click” experience slashes recovery times from days of manual reconstruction to just minutes.

“Organizations can’t protect data in isolation. Modern resilience requires us to see the entire estate at once,” said Anneka Gupta, chief product officer at Rubrik. 

“Rubrik is built on three pillars of resilience – data, identity, and AI – because an attack or error in one is a direct threat to the entire ecosystem. With our deep collaboration with Google Cloud, our core mission is to empower today’s organizations with a unified platform that offers trust and complete cyber resilience.”

Microsoft Defender and Rubrik integration announced at RSAC

Rubrik’s newest integration with Microsoft Defender, announced at RSAC 2026, will enable organizations to shift from identity threat detection to rapid remediation and trusted recovery.

The newly established integration will connect Microsoft’s real-time identity threat detection with Rubrik’s automated identity rollback and recovery capabilities to help organizations respond to identity-based attacks quickly.

Rubrik brings Defender detections into recovery workflows

Further, it will allow organizations to extend Microsoft Defender detections directly into Rubrik’s identity recovery workflows, allowing teams to investigate incidents, reverse malicious identity changes, and restore trust across hybrid environments.

Among the benefits joint customers now gain are:

• Understanding attack impacts more quickly by correlating threat alerts with identity changes.
• Reverse malicious identity modifications without performing full domain restores.
• Restore trusted identity states with immutable recovery points.
• Maintain visibility across hybrid identity environments, including Active Directory and Entra ID.

“Detection is only half the battle. Organizations need the ability to quickly and surgically reverse malicious identity changes and completely restore their infrastructure,” said Gupta. “By combining Microsoft Defender’s threat detection with Rubrik Identity Resilience, we give security and IAM teams the power to move from a detected compromise to a trusted, recovered state in hours, instead of days.”

This Rubrik-Microsoft integration builds on Rubrik’s ongoing investment in identity resilience. Over the past 15 months, the organization has expanded its identity capabilities, introducing recovery for Active Directory and Entra ID.

Just last fall, Rubrik debuted new capabilities with Microsoft, unveiling new integrations that secure AI agents. Read more about this integration and a new capability to deliver intelligent recovery for Microsoft 365.
