South Africa’s leading cyber security specialist, Obscure Technologies, has announced a strategic partnership with Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security Company, to distribute Rubrik’s solutions in the South African market.

This partnership introduces a cutting-edge approach to data security, ransomware recovery, and cyber resilience, addressing the increasing complexity of modern cyber threats.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Data Security
As the fastest-growing area in cyber security, data protection is now a top priority for South African businesses. With the rise of cloud adoption, hybrid work environments, and advanced cyber threats, the need for robust data resilience strategies has never been greater.
Justin Lee, Former Managing Director of Obscure Technologies, emphasizes:“Data security is the fastest-growing area of cyber security at the moment and a top priority for South African organizations. This space was a missing piece in the puzzle of our security portfolio, so adding Rubrik to our product stack addresses our valued partners’ and customers’ evolving cyber security and data protection needs across the board.”
Rubrik’s solutions deliver air-gapped, immutable, and access-controlled backups, ensuring businesses can recover from ransomware and other attacks without compromising data integrity.
Rubrik’s Role in Zero Trust and Cyber Resilience
Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Security approach aligns perfectly with Obscure Technologies’ mission to provide best-of-breed solutions. By leveraging data resilience, data observability, and immutable backups, Rubrik enables businesses to:
Secure Their Most Valuable Asset: Data
Rubrik acts as a secure vault, ensuring data remains untouched by attackers.
Recover Quickly After Breaches
Restore systems to the last known pure position, minimizing downtime and financial loss.
Mitigate Ransomware Risks
Advanced ransomware recovery ensures businesses remain operational even in the face of growing threats.
“With Rubrik, organizations can shift from reactive recovery to proactive resilience, safeguarding their data while ensuring rapid recovery in case of breaches,” adds Lee.
The Bigger Picture: Addressing Future Data Risks
As businesses increasingly adopt cloud-first strategies, CTOs and CIOs must consider the long-term challenges of data protection. Key areas of concern include:
Cloud Data Resilience: Ensuring backups are secure and recoverable in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Data Sovereignty: Meeting regulatory requirements for data localization and privacy (e.g., POPIA).
Ransomware Preparedness: Proactively defending against evolving malware attacks targeting cloud and on-premises environments.
Rubrik addresses these challenges by offering a future-ready platform designed to adapt to the shifting threat landscape and regulatory pressures.

This product fulfills a growing need in the ransomware and malware space, and supports business continuity and resiliency, which are becoming critical requirements for organizations.”
