About the team
The Rubrik Security Apps team helps customers secure their data on the cloud, SaaS and on-prem. Data is growing at an ever growing pace and so are the risks with cyber attacks targeted towards cloud data. We make it easy for businesses to protect, search, analyze all of their data simply and scalably.
The Data Threat Detection team is the core engineering team responsible for Rubrik’s mission to secure the world’s data. We operate at the intersection of massive-scale distributed systems and advanced cybersecurity. While traditional security tools focus on the perimeter, our team builds the "Last Line of Defense"—a unified security platform designed to detect, and analyze sophisticated threats.
Our work powers the Rubrik Security Cloud, specifically the Threat Monitoring and Threat Hunt product suites. We are responsible for architecting the software that scans petabytes of data to identify Indicators of Compromise, mapping the "blast radius" of ransomware attacks, and ensuring that our customers can recover their business operations with 100% confidence in the integrity of their data.
