Back to All Partners RUBRIK TL;DR: Rubrik is INVITE’s data protection and cyber resilience partner — providing the backup, recovery, and ransomware defense layer that sits beneath every INVITE managed services engagement. If your business has ever asked “what happens to our data if we get hit with ransomware?”, INVITE’s Rubrik practice is the answer. Rubrik’s mission is to secure the world’s data through Zero Trust Data Security. Its platform — Rubrik Security Cloud — protects data across enterprise infrastructure, cloud environments, and SaaS applications, with machine learning continuously monitoring for threats and anomalies. INVITE deploys and manages Rubrik as part of its managed services stack for mid-market businesses in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and across Utah and Arizona — ensuring that when something goes wrong, data is recoverable and operations can resume. What does Rubrik do, and why does it matter for your business? Rubrik addresses a problem that traditional backup tools don’t solve: backup data itself is a ransomware target. Legacy backup systems store data in ways that attackers can encrypt or delete — leaving businesses with no clean copy to recover from. Rubrik’s Zero Trust architecture makes backup data immutable and isolated from production environments, so even if an attacker gains access to your network, the recovery data remains clean. For businesses that need to meet recovery time objectives (RTOs) under 4 hours and keep downtime off the table, Rubrik is the foundation. What does INVITE deliver with Rubrik? INVITE’s Rubrik practice covers the full lifecycle — from sizing and deployment to ongoing monitoring and tested recovery: Rubrik Security Cloud deployment — INVITE architects and deploys Rubrik to protect on-premises servers, virtual machines, Microsoft 365 data, and cloud workloads on Azure and AWS. Retention policies, SLA tiers, and backup windows are configured to match your business requirements. Ransomware detection and anomaly monitoring — Rubrik’s machine learning engine continuously analyzes backup data for signs of encryption activity, alerting INVITE’s NOC team to potential events before they propagate. Early detection is the difference between a manageable incident and a business-stopping event. Microsoft 365 data protection — Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive data backed up and recoverable at the item level. Microsoft’s default retention policies are not a substitute for backup — INVITE’s Rubrik deployment closes that gap. Tested recovery — INVITE conducts regular recovery tests to verify that backup data is actually restorable, RTOs are achievable, and recovery runbooks are current. Most businesses discover backup failures at the worst possible moment — INVITE finds them in a test. Integration with INVITE’s broader security stack — Rubrik data protection works alongside Palo Alto Networks endpoint security and INVITE’s 24/7 NOC monitoring for a layered defense that covers both prevention and recovery. What outcomes do INVITE’s Rubrik clients see? One Salt Lake City client that experienced a ransomware event prior to engaging INVITE had no clean recovery point and faced a multi-week rebuild. After INVITE deployed Rubrik with immutable backups and automated recovery testing, the same client achieved a documented RTO of under 4 hours in a subsequent tabletop exercise. The change: clean, tested, immutable backup data that attackers couldn’t reach. INVITE serves businesses across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front in Utah, as well as Phoenix, Arizona. Both markets include businesses in healthcare, professional services, and financial services — industries where data recovery requirements are regulatory, not optional. Frequently Asked Questions: Rubrik and INVITE Networks Is Rubrik only for large enterprises, or can mid-market businesses use it? Rubrik Security Cloud scales to organizations of all sizes. INVITE typically deploys Rubrik for businesses with 25 to 500 employees — organizations that need enterprise-grade data protection without the internal team to manage it. INVITE handles deployment and ongoing management so the platform runs correctly without demanding internal IT resources. How is Rubrik different from traditional backup software? Traditional backup tools were designed for hardware failures and accidental deletion — not ransomware. Rubrik’s Zero Trust architecture makes backup data immutable, continuously monitors for encryption anomalies, and enables rapid recovery directly from the Rubrik platform without relying on production infrastructure that may be compromised. Does INVITE manage Rubrik as part of its managed services offering? Yes. Rubrik is a core component of INVITE’s data protection and cyber resilience layer. Most INVITE managed services clients include Rubrik in their overall scope — backup monitoring, retention management, and recovery testing are handled by INVITE’s team. See INVITE’s managed services page for details. What markets does INVITE serve with Rubrik? INVITE’s Rubrik practice serves businesses in Salt Lake City, Utah (including the Wasatch Front) and Phoenix, Arizona. Remote deployment and management capabilities extend INVITE’s reach to distributed and multi-site organizations across both regions.
