Cognizant has announced an expanded partnership with the Security and AI Operations company Rubrik in hopes of providing Business Resilience-as-a-Service for mutual customers.
The global offering – one of the first subscription-based, pay-as-you-go models for BRaaS – is designed to help enterprises quickly recover from cyber incidents and ransomware attacks, while aligning recovery objectives to critical business outcomes.
In order to combat these cyber threats, fast and clean recovery is increasingly important for organizations to stay up and running. BRaaS is designed to bridge the gap between IT recovery and true business continuity.
Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar further explained the partnership.
“Enterprises operate in an environment where cyber threats, compliance demands, and AI-driven change are all converging,” he said. “Through our partnership with Rubrik, we’re helping clients move from reactive recovery to proactive resilience. Cognizant’s cloud and infrastructure domain knowledge, deep industry expertise, and cross technology stack integration, alongside Rubrik’s leading security platform enable organizations to protect their most valuable data assets and accelerate growth securely in the AI era.”
The new BRaaS offering combines Rubrik’s cyber resilience platform with Cognizant’s extensive domain and industry expertise, with the goal of delivering industrialized solutions designed to support client compliance objectives and enhance the business resilience lifecycle for clients. Through Cognizant’s unified BRaaS framework, clients stand to benefit from a service-driven approach engineered to promote adoption, streamline operations, and continually enhance resiliency.
The surge in AI adoption exposes enterprises to new risks, particularly around data integrity, cyber threats, and operational continuity. Rubrik’s Agent Rewind delivers critical capabilities to mitigate AI agent risk and achieve resilience, giving enterprises the ability to undo destructive agent actions safely.
With Cognizant’s Neuro® AI platform, featuring multi-agent orchestration and industry-specific AI solutions, clients can operationalize AI on top of robust data estates protected through advanced security measures. Together, Cognizant and Rubrik aim to protect the foundation for the agentic AI era, where trusted data and rapid recovery are essential.
