00:40 — Suvajit shares challenges his company was facing when it chose to adopt Rubrik. He recalls that Goya first purchased the technology in late 2019 or early 2020. Goya had experienced a cyberattack and was seeking disaster recovery technology to help mitigate the impact of such attacks.
00:50 — The company was using multiple providers and multiple types of storage and backup. An important objective was air gap capability so bad actors can’t get into backups.
01:34 — In addition to air gap capabilities, anti-malware checks were also critical. Another big consideration: how easily and how fast recovery can take place in case of a disaster. Those were the key challenges that drove the adoption of Rubrik.
