Adding Rubrik has put us in a much more comfortable place. I have the confidence to run a full disaster recovery test, whereas that wasn’t the case before.
We buy a lot of tools and technologies into our portfolio because we have complex requirements. I’m constantly asking, ‘When are we going to get value out of this?’ With ITHQ, the solution was implemented and signed off very quickly.
ITHQ had all the expertise and a rapid onboarding process that ensured we were fully set up in a short time. They nudged us more proactively to get everything completed than we had to nudge them; exactly what we want from a supplier.

Rubrik already offered a $5 million ransomware guarantee. In April 2023, they upped this to $10 million, demonstrating both confidence in their technology and commitment to their customers.
Being able to quickly restore lost data is an essential part of disaster recovery, particularly if an attack is instigated by a state actor. Many cyber security insurance policies do not pay out in the event of a state actor breach, adding significant cost to recovery.

Immutable, separately held data backups are also included in the broad range of requirements necessary to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO:27001.
For businesses subject to further compliance and regulatory requirements, storing backups separately adds an additional layer of data security for deep commitment to data integrity and availability.
