Fortify EDB Postgres® AI Database Backup and Recovery with Rubrik Security Cloud

Advance enterprise security, high availability, and rapid recovery with immutable backups on EDB Postgres AI

EDB Postgres AI database security with Rubrik Data Protection Workflows—Better Together

Deploy EDB Postgres AI in the most-demanding enterprise and government agency environments, leveraging Rubrik’s data protection platform.

Enhance the integrity of enterprise-grade Postgres database backups by integrating Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC) data protection with EDB Postgres® Advanced Server (EPAS) and EDB Postgres Extended (PGE) Server.

Secure all data and recover only what is neededwhen it is needed by leveraging RSC data protection workflows to enhance EPAS and PGE backups.

Get rapid recovery, ease of use, and self-service access to EPAS and PGE immutable backups across both on-premises and cloud environments.

OVERVIEW: THE CHALLENGE

Today’s global enterprises and government agencies require secure and air-gapped database backups to protect against cyberattacks, ransomware threats, accidental deletion, or natural disasters. However, not all enterprise security obligations and demands can be met with native Postgres backup capabilities.

Preventing data alteration or deletion while minimizing downtime during Postgres database backups is now imperative for enterprise and public sector security.

Immutable database backups provide a solution to these needs, and hence no longer represent a “nice-to-have” security feature as organizations in highly regulated industries require these safeguards to meet cyber insurance and industry compliance requirements.
 

Database backup security and availability gaps


Larger-attack surfaces increase the potential for unrecoverable databases and adverse business operations impacts.  

Business operations exposure


Manual backup policy inconsistencies lead to vulnerabilities in high-volume enterprise and public cloud Postgres environments.

Security risks linked to standard backup timeframes


Exponential database growth hasn’t resulted in revisions or updates to set backup windows.

Data loss risks


Organizations face “all or nothing” recovery methods due to granular protection gaps.

OVERVIEW: SOLUTION & OUTCOMES

Integrate Rubrik Security Cloud with EDB Postgres AI to automatically secure your enterprise and government data with air-gapped, immutable, access-controlled backups that can be replicated and archived to multiple locations.

Streamline protection of EDB Postgres AI data with a unified platform that delivers ease of use and self-service access to the EPAS and PGE transactional databases.

EDB Postgres AI

EDB Postgres AI is the first intelligent data platform for transactional, analytical, and new AI workloads powered by an enhanced Postgres engine. It can be deployed as self-managed software in the cloud or on-premises, a managed cloud service, or as a hardware-integrated solution. It unlocks the hidden value of enterprise data and enables modern application development with built-in 'single pane of glass' management and observability, AI-driven assistance, and migration tooling.
 

Rubrik Security Cloud

The Rubrik Security Cloud software-as-a-service platform is designed to secure, monitor, and recover data across various environments, and it is certified to support EPAS and PGE. The Rubrik solution incorporates use of a connected Rubrik Secure Vault (RSV) for immutable preservation of EPAS and PGE backups, as well as the Rubrik Backup Service (RBS) to facilitate communication between EPAS/PGE and the RBS.
 

Key features of the EDB and Rubrik solution

Enterprises and public sector agencies can now leverage the RSC data protection solution to further streamline and enhance EDB Postgres AI database backups, with rapid recovery, ease of use, and self-service access across both on-premises and cloud environments.

Enhance data security and integrity with immutable backups


Prevent unauthorized modification or deletion of database backups.

Ensure business continuity


Minimize downtime and financial loss, with RSC enabling EPAS and PGE recovery in critical scenarios.

Streamline database recovery, lower OpEx


Reduce time spent troubleshooting or verifying backup integrity with reliable EPAS backups.

Meet regulatory and cyber insurance requirements


Use immutable backups to meet GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS standards and cyber insurance requirements.

Improve storage efficiency


Reduce EPAS and PGE backup times with proprietary Rubrik data reduction techniques, including compression.

Strengthen database encryption


As Write-Ahead Log (WAL) files are copied to RSV, they are transmitted using the Secure Thrift protocol, ensuring encryption during transit.
