New Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 restores core workflows, data, and drives operational resilience.
Rubrik, the Security and AI Operations company, announced Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 and DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub. These new offerings provide enterprises with intelligent, orchestrated recovery after a cyberattack or major outage. The Rubrik services enable comprehensive backup and swift recovery, and empower businesses to rapidly restore mission-critical functions for operational resilience.
“When outages occur, it can take an enterprise weeks – or even months – to get their teams back online and their data recovered,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Rubrik’s new AI and cyber resilience tools make it easy and fast to prioritize and restore your most important assets from code repositories to Microsoft 365, which are at the core of an enterprise’s operations, so customers can keep businesses operating while full data recovery is in process.”

Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365
Current data recovery often lacks crucial business context, leading to high risk and losses in revenue or productivity because of the simplistic focus on a single workload or data that lacks business context. Further, current solutions lack visibility into where data resides, whether the data is in Microsoft Outlook inboxes, OneDrives, SharePoint sites, Teams chats, or elsewhere.
Now, Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 takes a quantum leap beyond traditional time-based or data-centric approaches. Customers gain automated, business-awarerecoveryr, to restore critical users and their data across applications such as Microsoft Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Rubrik intelligently defines the recovery scope, to enable rapid business restoration and significantly reduce downtime.
Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 will allow customers to:
- Identify key users: Admins can define the C-suite members, department heads, and other users who are critical for the company to function.
- Analyze critical workflows: Intelligently scans all Microsoft 365 protected assets such as recent emails, files, SharePoint sites, Teams chats, and OneDrive folders, and finds the most critical data that is needed for the key users to operate.
- Automate minimal viable business (MVB) recovery: MVB brings back the minimum set of data and users that define the “viable company,” so critical teams can operate with all the critical information immediately, while full recovery continues in the background.
Rubrik Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 is expected to be available in the coming months.
Cyber Technology Insights: What is Rubrik? Everything You Need to Know About Data Security, Backup, and Recovery
Quick Facts
| Key Insight | What It Means | Business Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional recovery lacks a business context | Restores workloads without understanding which users/data matter most | Results in long downtime and revenue/productivity loss |
| Intelligent Business Recovery prioritizes users & workflows | Recovery is driven by operational importance, not full data volume | Speeds up time to business continuity |
| Minimal Viable Business (MVB) recovery model | Restores only critical users and essential data first | Companies resume operations instantly while full recovery runs |
| DevOps environments are a top cyber target | Source code, IaC, pipelines, and AI/ML assets are valuable to attackers | High IP risk without specialized cyber-resilient backup |
| Native Azure DevOps & GitHub security is not enough | Modern ransomware and AI-driven vulnerabilities bypass platform safeguards | Requires external cyber-resilient backup and recovery |
| Air-gapped, immutable DevOps backups | Data is isolated and cannot be modified or deleted by attackers | Ensures recovery even if production systems are compromised |
| Granular, rapid repo-level restores | Individual repositories or pipelines can be rolled back instantly | Minimizes disruption to development teams and delivery cycles |
DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub
Today’s DevOps platforms house critical intellectual property and artifacts, including source code, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and AI/ML pipelines–which means they are a prime target for cyberattacks. Unfortunately, recent high-profile breaches are definitive proof that native platform security is critically insufficient against these modern threats. DevOps environments are further exposed by the widespread use of AI agents, which can introduce new vulnerabilities for attackers to target, as well as flawed code commits at a scale that surpasses typical human error.
Rubrik DevOps Protection closes critical gaps, providing a single, trusted platform to safeguard the entire software and AI development lifecycle, ensuring organizations no longer have to risk the loss, corruption, or even temporary unavailability of their most valuable intellectual property and development pipeline. Azure DevOps and GitHub customers can now trust that their source code and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are protected and preserved in addition to their core functions.
DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub will provide:
● Automated & unified protection: Protects Azure DevOps and GitHub repositories and pipelines with a single, policy-driven SLA engine.
● Air-gapped, immutable backups: Secures DevOps data in a logically separate location in a natively immutable format, making it invisible and indelible to attackers.
● Rapid, granular recovery: Recovers instantly from any incident – from ransomware attacks to flawed AI code commits – with flexible restores of individual repositories.
● Enterprise-grade security: Fortifies backups with critical security features including Retention Lock, Quorum Authorization, and Role-Based Access Control.
Rubrik DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub is expected to be available in the coming months.

FAQs
Q1. What problem does Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365 solve?
It eliminates slow, full-volume restoration by prioritizing recovery based on business-critical users and workflows, reducing downtime dramatically.
Q2. What does “Minimal Viable Business (MVB) recovery” mean?
MVB restores only the essential users and the minimum required data needed for the company to continue operating immediately, while full recovery runs in the background.
Q3. Which Microsoft 365 services are included?
Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, along with other Microsoft 365 protected assets and workflows.
Q4. Why is DevOps Protection needed for Azure DevOps and GitHub?
DevOps platforms store high-value IP like source code, IaC, pipelines, and AI models – making them a top cyberattack target. Native security alone cannot prevent modern ransomware or data corruption.
Q5. Can organizations recover individual repositories?
Yes. Rubrik supports rapid, granular restores of individual repositories or pipelines to reverse damage from ransomware, accidental deletion, or flawed manual/AI code commits.
