Rubrik advances new data security for AWS Cloud Databases
This move strengthens Rubrik's leadership in cloud data protection, directly meeting customer demand for high performance and cost-effective resilience and security for their mission-critical databases. Customers will benefit from a unified platform that simplifies operations, lowers cloud backup costs, and offers immutable protection by default.
"As organizations entrust their most critical data and applications with cloud database services, it's crucial to have secure and cost-effective protection in place," said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. "Extending our cloud database protection to Amazon DynamoDB and deepening our capabilities for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is a testament to our ongoing innovation and strategic partnership with AWS. Together, we can help our customers become truly cyber resilient.'
Comprehensive Protection for Amazon DynamoDB
Rubrik is extending its data protection offerings to Amazon DynamoDB, AWS's flagship serverless, distributed NoSQL database service, with a single, policy-driven console that automates everything from backup scheduling and immutability to complex cross-account recovery—a process that is often manual, intricate, and tedious.
Centralized visibility and control: For customers who choose not to use AWS native services, Rubrik provides a unified dashboard to monitor and discover all DynamoDB instances across connected AWS accounts and regions.
Cost reduction: Rubrik enables storage-efficient, incremental-forever backups and provides the flexibility to choose from a full range of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) storage classes, including Amazon S3 Standard, S3 Standard-Infrequent Access, S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
Cyber Resilience Offering for Amazon RDS
The new offering is engineered specifically for relational databases, launching first with support for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL.
Immutable protection without additional infrastructure: Ensure database backups are both unchangeable and undeletable without the need for additional vault configurations or multi-service architectures to enhance cyber resilience.
Simplified and unified operations: For customers who choose not to use AWS native services, the Rubrik platform is designed to provide a centralized management view of RDS backup information across multiple AWS regions and accounts.

Dubai: Studio portraits with no photographer; new AI-powered room to ensure privacy
A new photography concept is set to launch in Dubai, aiming to put both the camera and creative control entirely in the user's hands. described by its founders as the UAE's first AI-powered studio for self-photography, will open its flagship location in Al Quoz this September. The startup promises to address privacy and comfort concerns by offering a sealed, sound-insulated room where users can take studio-quality portraits without a photographer present. Inside, a smart mirror and cinema-grade camera powered by Edge AI guides individuals through a self-directed session, with automatic image enhancement and secure delivery via private link. 'There's often discomfort in traditional photo shoots; the setting, the photographer, the pressure to look a certain way,' said Mitia Muravev, founder and CEO of 'We wanted to eliminate that. Our goal is to create a space where people can be themselves and see that reflected back.' The concept, according to the founders, originated from a common observation — that people often reject photographs not because of appearance, but because of discomfort or unease during the session. They believe this challenge is especially pronounced in communities where modesty and privacy are deeply valued. Peter Bondarenko, co-founder and chief product officer, said the system relies on embedded cameras and AI to recognise facial features and skin tones, applying subtle real-time enhancements such as colour correction and skin smoothing without altering natural features. Images are stored in encrypted, user-specific galleries, accessible only via one-time passcodes sent to the user's phone. According to the team, no personal data is stored beyond the gallery access mechanism. The concept was first piloted at the 2024 Arab Media Summit, where, the founders say, hundreds of women queued to try the service. 'Many said it was the first time they truly enjoyed a photo shoot,' Muravev said. Since then, the studio has reportedly served over 4,000 users in soft launches. While the service may attract influencers and professionals seeking headshots, the startup maintains that its core focus is helping everyday users feel more at ease in front of the camera.

Dubai Duty Free smashes all-time July sales record by nearly 6%
Dubai Duty Free (DDF) broke its all-time sales record in the month of July by nearly six per cent after posting sales of AED638.8 million (US$174 million). Its year-to-date sales of AED4.734 billion (US$1.29 billion) are up 5.86 per cent on the same period last year. The increase is notable given that passenger growth for the same period was less than 3 per cent. Dubai Airports said last month that passenger traffic at DXB, the world's busiest international aviation hub, served 46 million people across 222,000 flights through to the end of June, an increase of 2.3 per cent, despite the disruptions in the region. Dubai Duty Free on a high The previous record for July was AED602.8 million (US$164.1 million) set in 2023. DDF's sales are 9.7 per cent higher than July 2024 sales of AED582.26 million (US$158.6 million). This places July 2025 in ninth place amongst the Top 10 months in Dubai Duty Free's history. The company has achieved sales records in five out of seven months so far this year. Ramesh Cidambi, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, commented: 'We are delighted to report another strong sales month in what is already proving to be an exceptional year. 'This outstanding performance reflects the resilience of our retail operation and the continued demand for world-class shopping experiences. Achieving nearly 10 per cent sales growth in a month when we estimate passenger traffic remained relatively flat, is a testament to our team and product offering.' Sweet success Confectionery sales grew an incredible 57 per cent from July last year, and it made it to the Top five categories of DDF. Sales of watches increased 18.4 per cent and Precious Jewellery grew 16.8 per cent, but they still could not make it to the Top five categories, which was occupied by Perfumes, Liquor, Gold, Tobacco and Confectionery. Perfume sales rose by 10.3 per cent over the same month last year, Liquor sales rose by 1.7 per cent, while Tobacco saw a 2.2 per cent increase. Gold sales rose by 15.5 per cent. DDF said July's sales surge was fuelled in part by a growing appetite for iconic luxury brands. The company's CA and CB Fashion Boutiques, home to some of the world's most sought-after luxury labels, grew 11.36 per cent. Flagship brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Cartier were standout performers, reflecting sustained demand for high-end fashion and accessories at DXB. Cidambi added: 'Given the recent media reports outlining the difficulties facing global luxury brands, we are happy to buck that trend in our luxury Boutiques, where we are seeing continued demand for select brands.' Lure of Rolex DDF's pre-loved luxury boutique, REKLAIM, launched in December 2024, continued to grow. Located in Concourses A, including in the Emirates First Class Lounge, Concourse B and D, REKLAIM offers a curated selection of authenticated pre-owned watches and handbags from top-tier luxury brands. In just over seven months, REKLAIM has generated more than AED14.3 million (US$3.9 million) in sales of which AED1.6 million (US$440,000) was generated in July alone. Rolex was the stand-out performer, with a total of 176 sold since the launch of REKLAIM, with 16 sold in July alone.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, took to social media to share images of a journey from Dubai to Fujairah on the much anticipated Etihad Rail passenger service. The network, set to start operations next year, will connect 11 cities and regions across the country - and is expected to transport 36 million passengers by 2030. Sheikh Mohammed expressed his pride in the project and in "a country that never stops working, but rather adds a new building block to its future infrastructure every day". Connecting the country Plans for the passenger line were unveiled in 2021. Earlier this year, Etihad Rail said that the first four passenger stations on the UAE-wide line would be in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Fujairah. The station in Fujairah is in the Sakamkam area and the one in Sharjah close to the airport and University City. While the precise Dubai and Abu Dhabi sites have yet to be revealed, it is believed the Dubai station will be near Jumeirah Golf Estates. It was previously announced that passenger trains are set to travel at 200kph, carrying up to 400 passengers. Travelling from Abu Dhabi to Dubai will take about 57 minutes, while a journey from the capital to Fujairah will take 105 minutes.
