Source Facts

On 22 April, Rubrik announced that Security Cloud can protect managed PostgreSQL databases on Google Cloud SQL, using automation and immutable backups to support data security and recovery.

The announcement describes automatic discovery of new database instances, application of global protection policies, and centralised management alongside protection for Google Workspace, Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine. These are vendor-announced capabilities, not performance or disaster recovery tests conducted by this site.

Next Steps for Businesses / Editorial Observations

An available database backup does not mean the application has recovered. Also verify connection permissions, keys, regions and data consistency.

Next steps you can take

  • Check protected database types, regions and retention policies.
  • Restore the database in a test environment, then have the application owner confirm usability.
