Hi everyone,

Last week I sat down with Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, ahead of Rubrik FORWARD in Las Vegas. The announcements are now public, and they say a lot about where enterprise AI is heading.

Here is what stood out.

Rubrik AI: the platform becomes an agent

This is the headline. Rubrik AI turns the entire platform into an agentic-first experience across Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik Agent Cloud. Instead of working through dashboards and manual steps, you define the business outcome and Rubrik AI reasons over your data, identities, and deployed agents to deliver it.

Three things make this real rather than a chatbot bolted onto a product. Agentic Mode runs one agent across both clouds. Agentic Guardrails keep every autonomous action auditable, attributable, and reversible. And Orchestrated Workflows compress recovery sequences that took human teams weeks into minutes.

Bipul Sinha framed it simply: today, Rubrik becomes an agent. The logic is that cyber breaches now move at machine speed, so resilience has to as well.

Rubrik Agent Cloud for Anthropic's Claude Code

The second announcement addresses a gap I hear about constantly. Claude Code and Claude Cowork are being adopted faster than any agentic technology Rubrik has seen. These agents write, push, and deploy code autonomously. But enterprise security was designed around a human always being in the loop. That gap means rogue commits, repo ransomware, prompt injection, and IP exfiltration can happen at machine speed.

Rubrik Agent Cloud closes it with full visibility into every Claude agent and what it can access, SAGE, a Semantic AI Governance Engine that controls agent behavior in real time based on intent rather than static rules, and a resilience layer underneath it all.

That resilience layer is the part nobody else has. Agent Rewind is the industry's only capability to reverse an agent's unintended actions, recover the codebase even when a mistake outruns version control, and restore the configuration that governs how the agent behaves.

Why does this matter right now?

That number comes from Rubrik Zero Labs. The answer is not slowing down agent adoption. It is being able to see, govern, and undo what agents do.

My conversation with Anneka Gupta

I went deep on all of this with Anneka, including how Rubrik thinks about securing agents it did not build, why rewind matters more than observability, and what enterprises get wrong when they deploy agents at scale.

The takeaway from this week is clear. The agentic era is not coming, it is here. The real differentiator is no longer who can deploy agents fastest. It is who can stay in control when those agents act.

See you in the next one,
