Rubrik’s Integration with CrowdStrike: Enhancing Identity Security

At the recent Fal.Con 2025 event, Rubrik unveiled an upgraded integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform. This collaboration centers on Rubrik Identity Resilience and the CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security. Together, they aim to bolster identity security, making it easier for organizations to reverse harmful changes made to identities and restore systems to a secure state.

The Growing Threat of Identity-Driven Attacks

As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid environments that blend on-premises systems with cloud solutions, the sophistication and speed of identity-driven attacks are rapidly escalating. Organizations face immense pressure to safeguard identities—whether human, non-human, or even AI agents—across various environments. CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security plays a crucial role in this defense, offering comprehensive protection through each stage of the hybrid identity lifecycle. This includes blocking unauthorized access, preventing privilege escalation, and halting lateral movements within the system.

Key Features of the Integration

Real-Time Threat Detection

With the new integration, customers benefit from real-time identity threat detection and malicious change correlation. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security utilizes AI-driven analytics to identify suspicious activities across multiple identity providers, including Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta. Rubrik then absorbs these alerts, pinpointing malicious modifications made by compromised identities.

Surgical Rollback of Malicious Changes

One of the standout features of Rubrik Identity Resilience is its ability to reverse malicious changes efficiently. The system enables organizations to recover from harmful actions and restore their identity systems to a verified safe state. This process leverages immutability to prevent the re-exploitation of vulnerabilities. In severe cases, Rubrik guarantees a complete recovery of the identity provider (IdP), ensuring business continuity even when the worst scenarios unfold.

Streamlined Investigations

The integration also accelerates investigations and workflows within the Falcon console. Rubrik Security Cloud connects seamlessly with Falcon Fusion SOAR, Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon Threat Intelligence, and Charlotte AI. This synergy allows security teams to streamline their investigation and response processes, initiating rollback actions, monitoring their progress, and orchestrating recovery workflows efficiently.

Expert Insights on the Integration

Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, emphasized the need for speed and precision in handling identity-driven attacks. She noted that enhancing Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security with rollback and recovery capabilities offers customers a comprehensive solution. This integrated approach ensures organizations can detect threats, adapt swiftly, and reverse harmful changes, all while minimizing operational disruption.

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, echoed this sentiment, pointing out that businesses require more than just detection; they need robust identity security capable of adapting and defending against savvy adversaries. He highlighted that the collaboration with Rubrik combines CrowdStrike’s AI-driven protection with Rubrik’s innovative rollback features, resulting in faster responses to identity attacks and reduced business disruption.

The Advantages of Rubrik Identity Resilience

Rubrik Identity Resilience surpasses traditional solutions by effectively merging identity security with risk detection and threat response capabilities. Organizations gain the ability to monitor identity changes in real-time, paving the way for thorough forensic analysis. This feature promotes improved collaboration between security and Identity Access Management (IAM) teams, enhancing overall organizational response to threats. Furthermore, Rubrik Identity Resilience can quickly identify overprivileged or misconfigured accounts, addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

In summary, the integration of Rubrik Identity Resilience with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security marks a significant advancement in the response to identity-driven threats. By focusing on real-time threat detection, efficient rollback capabilities, and streamlined investigations, this collaboration enhances the security posture of organizations navigating complex hybrid environments.
