Rubrik turns its platform into an AI agent and ships Agent Cloud for Claude

Rubrik Inc. today turned its data security platform into an autonomous agent and made its control layer for Anthropic PBC’s Claude generally available, the headline items in a wave of announcements at its Rubrik Forward conference in Las Vegas.

The releases share a common pitch: as enterprises hand more work to AI agents, the question that matters is how fast an organization can recover when an agent, or an attacker abusing one, does something destructive. Rubrik, which now calls itself the “Security and AI Operations Company,” is answering it with agents of its own.

The centerpiece is Rubrik AI, which the company said gives its platform an agent-first interface across both Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik Agent Cloud. Customers define a business outcome and the software reasons over their data, identities and deployed agents to carry it out. The design is patent-pending. It runs in an agentic mode built on a single agent spanning the two product suites, applies guardrails meant to keep every autonomous action auditable, attributable and reversible, and runs multi-step recovery sequences that the company said previously took human teams weeks.
