Rubrik boosts AWS database security with DynamoDB, RDS tools
Rubrik has announced new support for Amazon DynamoDB and released a cyber resilience solution for relational databases, initially focusing on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The expansion of Rubrik's data protection services on AWS aims to provide additional security layers for customers handling growing data volumes in cloud environments. The announced offerings are designed to address data security gaps, mitigate the risk of cyber threats, and help meet compliance requirements by automating backup, ensuring data immutability, and streamlining recovery operations. Services overview Rubrik's extension to Amazon DynamoDB provides customers with a single policy-driven console that handles backup scheduling and cross-account recovery processes. Automation of these processes, often seen as complex and manual, intends to lower the burden on IT teams and standardise protection across environments. For Amazon RDS users, Rubrik is launching a proprietary cyber resilience solution, with support for PostgreSQL. The company states that this approach eliminates the need for extra infrastructure to maintain immutable, undeletable backups, allowing databases to be continuously protected regardless of architecture complexity. As organisations entrust their most critical data and applications with cloud database services, it's crucial to have secure and cost-effective protection in place. 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. The new solutions are intended to simplify management of AWS cloud database environments through centralised dashboards, offering unified views and control, particularly for customers who opt out of AWS's native data protection services. Amazon DynamoDB protection Rubrik's support for Amazon DynamoDB incorporates centralised visibility, which enables discovery and monitoring of DynamoDB instances across multiple AWS accounts and regions. This is particularly significant for organisations managing large, distributed deployments in the cloud. Rubrik's platform allows for incremental-forever backups, which are designed to minimise storage consumption and associated costs. Customers can select from a range of Amazon S3 storage classes including S3 Standard, S3 Standard-Infrequent Access, S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. This flexibility aims to increase cost efficiency for long-term data retention and compliance. Cyber resilience for Amazon RDS The proprietary cyber resilience solution for Amazon RDS offers immutable protection, ensuring backups cannot be altered or deleted. The platform does not require additional vault configurations or the combination of multiple services to achieve immutability, reducing operational complexity. Operations management for Amazon RDS on PostgreSQL is consolidated into one interface, allowing organisations to maintain visibility and control of backup information across different regions and AWS accounts. This centralised approach targets organisations seeking alternatives to AWS's native tools, aiming to streamline compliance and recovery processes. Customer benefits Rubrik claims the new features will help customers reduce operational risk while simplifying management and minimising cloud costs. The unified platform approach is also designed to bring consistency across diverse and highly distributed AWS environments, addressing both security and operational requirements. The expanded support responds to increased adoption of cloud-based database services, and recognises the challenges organisations face in securing such resources at scale. All of Rubrik's newly announced or upcoming capabilities have been designed with the intent to help organisations address growing data security challenges presented by increased cloud adoption and the prevalence of cyber threats. They are delivered with a focus on automation and central management to aid enterprises in achieving cyber resilience without adding architectural complexity.

Myriad360 & Cyera launch AI-powered data security tool for AWS
Myriad360 and Cyera have announced the launch of the Data Security Health Assessment (DSHA), an AI-powered service designed to provide enterprises with rapid insight into their data security posture in AWS environments. The DSHA leverages Cyera's Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform and operates as a turnkey service. It enables organisations to detect and classify sensitive information, enforce compliance requirements, and enhance operational efficiencies across cloud-native infrastructures such as Amazon S3 and RDS. The solution processes over 120 file formats and automates risk identification, aiding in the formulation of remediation plans without manual effort. This new service aims to address the challenges that enterprises face as they scale up their artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives and cloud migrations. Fast and accurate data discovery, coupled with actionable insights for compliance, are core to DSHA's offering, with the solution reportedly delivering results within hours. Assessing data risk The platform has been deployed in operational environments where it identified over 9.3 million sensitive records shortly after rollout. During the same deployment, it uncovered 357 vulnerable data stores, 63 of which were classified as ghost datastores. According to Myriad360, the DSHA reduced manual triage time and the frequency of data loss prevention (DLP) false positives by as much as 80%, and also flagged the presence of European PII stored outside of GDPR-compliant locations. DSHA's integration with AWS means customers benefit from seamless compatibility with their existing AWS-native infrastructure. The intention, both companies state, is to enable organisations to adopt advanced solutions for data protection and AI readiness at scale without compromising security standards. Executive perspectives Heather Case-Hall, Technical Author & Data Security Leader at Myriad360, emphasised the importance of robust security measures, particularly with the expansion of AI capabilities in enterprises. She said, Our clients face increasing pressure to reduce risk and prove compliance - especially with emerging AI adoption. This collaboration with Cyera allows us to deliver not just visibility, but a clear remediation roadmap that bridges security and business outcomes. The role of contextual understanding of data was highlighted by Troy Gabel, Head of DLP at Cyera. He remarked, Security leaders today need more than just protection - they need clarity and control over their data so they can move fast without taking on unnecessary risk. Cyera's unique strength is context - we don't just show where data lives, but who can access it, how it's being used, and what it means to the business. With Myriad360's DSHA framework, we're turning that vision into action and delivering measurable impact in complex AWS environments - fast. Tim Donovan, AWS Cloud Success Manager at Myriad360, underscored the scalability and automation provided by the solution. He commented, Myriad360 is committed to helping customers meet their security and compliance needs with scalable, automated solutions. The Myriad360 DSHA powered by Cyera brings an innovative offering to AWS customers looking to mature their data protection and AI readiness. The impact of offering DSHA via AWS Marketplace was described by Alpesh Shah, VP of Security Strategic Alliance at Myriad360, who stated, Myriad360 truly understands the power of the AWS Marketplace and its ability to simplify the procurement of SaaS solutions. With this new marketplace offering in collaboration with Cyera, Myriad360 has expanded its AWS relationship, enabling clients to leverage this unique solution. We encourage customers to take advantage of Myriad360's security engineering expertise. Cloud environments and compliance The DSHA's objective is to streamline compliance and data security in line with growing demands for cloud-based infrastructure and AI-driven workloads. Organisations deploying large-scale AI projects need to ensure they do not inadvertently expose sensitive or regulated data, and the DSHA is positioned as a tool for facilitating this process within AWS frameworks. By rapidly surfacing security risks and providing a framework for actionable remediation, Myriad360 and Cyera are aiming to strengthen enterprise cloud strategies, ensuring that organisations achieve greater transparency and control over their data assets as compliance regulations and operational requirements continue to evolve.
