Rubrik brings agentic AI to cyber recovery with launch of Rubrik MCP

Rubrik, a security and AI operations company, has unveiled Rubrik MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling an organization's AI agents to securely access and utilize Rubrik's data, identity, and application intelligence. This development sees Rubrik's AI, now trusted by one-third of its global customers, joining forces with Anthropic's frontier models, backed by Rubrik's security expertise and stringent guardrails, to create a multi-step reasoning agent tailored for vital incident response.

Arvind Nithrakashyap, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Rubrik, remarked on the rapid growth of AI and how the introduction of Rubrik MCP revolutionizes security operations by effortlessly linking customer AI agents with Rubrik's extensive telemetry and governance system. Cyber threats proliferate at an astonishing pace, and Rubrik MCP empowers customers to maintain comprehensive visibility and control over intricate enterprise environments.

Rubrik AI has drastically simplified Mpho Mongalo's job at Datacentrix, a Senior Backup Specialist. Gone are the days of sifting through pages of failure logs to diagnose overnight issues; now, a simple Rubrik interface provides an instant, clear summary explaining the backup failure and its resolution.

MCP exposes Rubrik's Security Cloud API schema directly, granting connected agents immediate access to all available functionalities. Teams can leverage these capabilities to save multi-step recovery or compliance workflows, making them reusable and deterministic tools across any AI client. Rubrik ensures the utmost security by maintaining role-based access control parity, configurable permissions, and guardrails aligned with OWASP MCP Top 10.

By facilitating direct interaction with Rubrik Security Cloud intelligence and Rubrik Agent Cloud governance, Rubrik AI equips organizations to operate at machine speed while effectively managing agentic AI deployments. Rubrik AI operates as an autonomous execution engine, functioning across data, identity, and applications to deliver crucial business outcomes.

Rubrik's engineering team collaborated with Anthropic to streamline the agent architecture, reducing response latency and boosting the efficiency of its multi-step reasoning process.
