Modernize Your Hypervisors, Not Your Attack Surface
Rubrik, Thursday, July 30th, 2026
Rubrik argues hypervisor diversification delivers backup coverage without visibility into what is inside the protected workloads.
The hypervisor landscape is no longer VMware by default, with enterprises running Nutanix, Hyper-V, Azure Local, Red Hat OpenShift, OpenStack, and OLVM, often several at once.
Rubrik argues getting data protection coverage onto a new hypervisor is table stakes, but coverage without visibility means backing up data that is already compromised, restoring files carrying hidden threats, or holding sensitive data in VM backups undetected for months.
Rubrik Data Threat Analytics turns the backup pipeline into a continuous threat intelligence layer across every workload.
Every VM falls in scope as soon as a backup is taken, with no per-hypervisor configuration and no secondary scanning infrastructure. It complements EDR and integrates with SIEM and SOAR.
