Rubrik Adds ReversingLabs Ransomware Intelligence to Backup Scanning

Summary
Rubrik’s Threat Monitoring and Threat Hunting now use ReversingLabs’ ransomware feed to scan backup snapshots for indicators, including across historical backups, helping identify threats and clean recovery points.
Key points
- The integration adds ReversingLabs’ ransomware intelligence to Rubrik Threat Monitoring and Threat Hunting.
- Rubrik scans backup snapshots in place, without moving the data or requiring a new agent or console.
- The feed includes file hashes, command-and-control infrastructure, and payload delivery URLs, with MITRE ATT&CK mappings and ransomware kill-chain stage tags.
- Threat Hunting can scan up to 75,000 backups in an estimated 60 seconds and examine snapshot history to identify a clean recovery point.
- New intelligence can be checked against older snapshots, including backups taken before the relevant indicators were known.
- The article cites research that ransomware operators frequently target backups and that compromised backups are associated with higher encryption rates and recovery costs.
Article Details
- Event Type
- Integration of ReversingLabs ransomware threat intelligence into Rubrik Threat Monitoring and Threat Hunting.
- Impact
- Rubrik backup scans can match snapshots against ReversingLabs ransomware indicators, including file hashes, command-and-control infrastructure, and payload-delivery URLs. The integration supports scanning historical backups to identify threats and locate a clean recovery point; the article does not report a specific customer impact from the integration.
