Rubrik CTO Arvind Nithrakashyap emphasizes the importance of data security in India’s digital landscape

In today’s digital age, cybersecurity threats like ransomware attacks are on the rise, posing a significant risk to organizations as critical assets become increasingly digitized. The vulnerability of data, whether in public or private enterprises, makes having robust security infrastructure essential.

Recently, Arvind Nithrakashayap, Co-founder and CTO of Rubrik, a US-based cloud data management and data security company, shared insights on the evolving landscape of cyber resilience.
