Rubrik has unveiled its latest innovation, Rubrik Annapurna, aimed at empowering enterprises to securely scale AI deployment on Google Cloud.
Unveiled live from Las Vegas, this new technology is designed to help organizations efficiently access, govern, and protect sensitive data used in AI applications. By integrating with Google Agentspace, Rubrik Annapurna introduces a powerful framework for secure data retrieval, zero-trust governance, and seamless AI pipeline management.
Bridging the Gap Between AI Innovation and Data Security
As businesses rush to embrace AI across their operations, many are hitting roadblocks during proof-of-concept phases due to concerns around data privacy, compliance, and scalability. Rubrik Annapurna addresses these concerns head-on by offering:
- Fast, secure API-based access to enterprise-wide data for AI training and inference
- Advanced anomaly detection and access monitoring to prevent data breaches
- Streamlined data pipelines that merge enterprise datasets with Google Cloud AI models
- Automated compliance policies to safeguard sensitive training data
“AI is only as effective as the data it learns from,” said Arvind Nithrakashyap, CTO and Co-Founder of Rubrik. “Rubrik Annapurna ensures that organizations can harness the full power of generative AI while maintaining rigorous data governance and zero-trust security protocols.”
How the Integration with Google Agentspace Works
The collaboration between Rubrik and Google integrates Annapurna as a secure data source within Agentspace, a move that enables enterprises to:
- Secure AI Retrieval: Access structured and unstructured enterprise data with precision and protection
- Zero Trust Authorization: Implement policy-based controls to ensure only verified users and AI models can access specific datasets
- Simplified AI Workflows: Accelerate AI application development without sacrificing compliance or security
Zero Trust: The Backbone of Responsible AI
As AI becomes more embedded across enterprise ecosystems, the need for secure and compliant data access has never been greater. Rubrik Annapurna brings Zero Trust principles to AI workflows, enabling companies to:
- Classify and govern data at scale
- Enforce real-time security policies across AI pipelines
- Maintain regulatory alignment while boosting innovation speed
This approach ensures that AI models are trained on high-quality, well-managed datasets—an essential foundation for trustworthy and effective AI solutions.
For organizations exploring the ethical and strategic implications of AI in governance and society, this aligns with broader discussions on how generative AI is reshaping business and compliance landscapes.
