Cognizant and Rubrik have strengthened their collaboration to introduce a groundbreaking Business Resilience-as-a-Service (BRaaS) solution, providing enterprises with a flexible, subscription-based model to combat rising cyber threats and ensure operational continuity. This global offering is among the first to deliver pay-as-you-go resilience services, helping organizations swiftly recover from ransomware attacks and cyber incidents while directly linking recovery efforts to essential business results.
As artificial intelligence technologies spread rapidly across industries, companies are integrating advanced AI to boost innovation and efficiency. This shift, however, dramatically increases the complexity and distribution of IT infrastructure. With data and systems expanding to handle AI workloads, the potential attack surface widens considerably. The current environment calls for stronger resilience strategies to protect vital information, especially as ransomware becomes more frequent and sophisticated.
Bipul Sinha, Rubrik’s CEO, Chairman, and Co-founder, emphasized the urgency of this shift: “The constant barrage of cyberattacks requires moving beyond basic prevention toward genuine resilience. Our expanded alliance with Cognizant and the launch of our joint BRaaS model represents that critical evolution. By uniting Rubrik’s AI and security platform with Cognizant’s worldwide delivery capabilities, customers can confidently restore operations after cyber disruptions using a flexible, consumption-based approach.”
Rapid and reliable recovery is now a cornerstone of maintaining business operations amid escalating cyber risks. BRaaS aims to close the divide between standard IT recovery and comprehensive business continuity. This joint service helps organizations endure operational interruptions, reduce downtime, and preserve customer confidence, even when confronting advanced cyber threats.
Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, noted the convergence of challenges facing modern enterprises: “Businesses today navigate a landscape where cyber threats, regulatory requirements, and AI-driven transformation intersect. Our collaboration with Rubrik empowers clients to transition from reactive recovery to proactive resilience. Cognizant’s expertise in cloud infrastructure, industry knowledge, and technology integration, combined with Rubrik’s security platform, allows organizations to safeguard their most critical data and pursue secure growth in the AI age.”
The new BRaaS solution integrates Rubrik’s cyber resilience technology with Cognizant’s industry-specific knowledge, delivering standardized solutions that help clients meet compliance goals and strengthen their resilience over time. Through Cognizant’s unified BRaaS framework, customers gain a service-oriented model that encourages adoption, simplifies management, and progressively improves resilience capabilities.
The rapid expansion of AI introduces fresh vulnerabilities related to data integrity, cybersecurity, and operational stability. Rubrik’s Agent Rewind feature addresses AI agent risks by enabling safe reversal of harmful agent activities, helping businesses achieve greater resilience. Cognizant’s Neuro® AI platform, which includes multi-agent orchestration and tailored AI solutions for various sectors, allows clients to implement AI on secure data foundations protected by advanced security protocols. Together, Cognizant and Rubrik are building a secure foundation for the agentic AI era, where dependable data and fast recovery are indispensable.
