Rubrik launches ‘Agent Rewind' AI visibility solution
NEW DELHI: Multinational cybersecurity firm Rubrik on Thursday launched the ' Agent Rewind ' solution, powered by the Predibase artificial intelligence ( AI ) infrastructure, to help organisations gain visibility into AI agents and undo any mistakes. This comes at a time when businesses are turning to GenAI-driven agents, which can interact with their environment and execute tasks, to help achieve certain goals efficiently sans human intervention. However, this has led the possibility of these agents – or software – making inadvertent changes to applications and data, as well as technical malfunctions and legal issues, challenges that Rubrik's solution aims to solve. 'In highly regulated sectors in India such as banking, financial services & insurance (BFSI) and healthcare, maintaining transparency is critical,' said Sathish Murthy, chief technology officer (CTO), India and Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), Rubrik. 'The introduction of Agent Rewind offers enterprises a powerful tool that provides audit trails of AI-driven actions. The ability to safely rewind AI actions will give them the confidence to experiment without fear of irreversible mistakes,' he added. Rubrik said its Agent Rewind solution makes previously opaque AI actions visible, auditable, and reversible, creating an audit trail and immutable snapshots that facilitate safe rollback. Current observability tools only show what happened, but not why or how to reverse high-risk actions. "As AI agents gain autonomy and optimise for outcomes, unintended errors can lead to business downtime," said Anneka Gupta, chief product officer at Rubrik. "Agent Rewind integrates Predibase's advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik's recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently.' According to the research agency International Data Corporation (IDC), while companies are considering investing in AI, they do not take into account the mistakes that AI agents can and will make. 'Agentic AI introduces the concept of 'non-human error,' and as with its human counterpart, organisations should explore solutions that allow them to correct potentially catastrophic mistakes made by agentic AI,' said Johnny Yu, research manager at IDC.

Rubrik Introduces Agent Rewind
Rubrik has announced the launch of Agent Rewind, following the close of Rubrik's acquisition of Predibase. Agent Rewind, powered by Predibase AI infrastructure, will enable organizations to undo mistakes made by agentic AI by providing visibility into agents' actions and enabling enterprises to rewind those changes to applications and data. 'As companies consider investing in AI, they often don't take into account the mistakes that AI agents can and will make,' said Johnny Yu, Research Manager at IDC. 'Agentic AI introduces the concept of 'non-human error,' and as with its human counterpart, organizations should explore solutions that allow them to correct potentially catastrophic mistakes made by agentic AI.'

'Agent Rewind integrates Predibase's advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik's recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently. Today's organizations will now have a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions.' AI agents possess significant potential, yet, like humans, they are prone to mistakes that result in unintended business disruption. Recent incidents of AI agent errors highlight a spectrum of situations ranging from technical malfunctions and legal issues to even the deletion of entire production databases. A recent study found that AI agents are frequently becoming disoriented, choosing incorrect shortcuts, and struggling to complete even simple multi-step tasks, revealing critical flaws that undermine their reliability and effectiveness. Agent Rewind makes previously opaque AI actions visible, auditable, and reversible, creating an audit trail and immutable snapshots that facilitate safe rollback. Current observability tools only show what happened, but not why or how to reverse high-risk actions. 'Agent Rewind will close the loop on what happened, why it happened, and how to undo it,' said Chad Pallett, Chief Information Security Officer at BioIVT, a global research partner and biospecimen solutions provider for drug and diagnostic development. 'When using AI, there is a need for observability and secure rollback. Rubrik and Predibase will provide not just data safety and model speed, but also AI recoverability. In a market craving true observability and remediation, Agent Rewind is the answer I've been waiting for.' When AI goes awry, Agent Rewind offers: Context-Enriched Visibility: Surfaces agent behavior, tool use, and impact while contextualizing each action, mapping it back to its root cause – from prompts to plans to tools – to enable precise recovery when something goes wrong.
