Google Cloud SQL protection without the trade-offs

Protect every instance automatically

No matter how it was provisioned — Console, Terraform, gcloud CLI, or any API — Rubrik finds your databases and protects them.

Run DR and immutable backups side by side

Keep your disaster recovery replicas exactly as they are. Add immutable backups on top with no architecture changes.

Retention and storage on your terms

Set retention as long as compliance demands. Choose the storage tier that fits your business needs. No ceilings, no forced defaults

Automated Unified Protection

Rubrik automatically discovers Cloud SQL instances across all your Google Cloud projects and applies your existing SLA policy. Whether your team provisions via the Google Cloud Console, Terraform, gcloud CLI, or any API - every instance is covered. New databases are protected immediately, with no manual setup required.

The Rubrik Advantage:

  • Automated Discovery: Every new instance is protected as soon as it's created, regardless of how it was provisioned
  • Tag-Based SLA Assignment: Apply or update backup policies across all your instances in a single operation — no per-instance work
  • Single Pane of Glass: Manage Cloud SQL alongside other critical Google Cloud workloads from one unified dashboard, with consistent policies across every region

Cyber Resilient Backup

Rubrik's backup runs independently of your replication strategy. Keep your DR replicas exactly as they are and layer on immutable backups — no architecture changes, no gaps in protection. When you need to restore, recover cross-region directly with no intermediate migration steps required.

The Rubrik Advantage:

  • DR + Immutability Together: Run disaster recovery replicas and immutable backups simultaneously — no trade-offs required
  • Retention Lock and Quorum Authorization: No single user can delete or shorten backups without multi-party approval, even if credentials are compromised
  • Cross-Region Recovery: Restore Cloud SQL instances to any project or region directly, with no intermediate steps

Compliance and Scale

Set retention policies that match what compliance actually demands — 10 years, 15 years, or longer. Choose the right Google Cloud Storage class for your backup data. Pay for the access patterns you actually have, not a one-size-fits-all storage tier.

The Rubrik Advantage:

  • No Retention Ceiling: Set the policy your compliance team needs — with no product-imposed upper limit
  • Storage Class Flexibility: Choose Standard, Nearline, Coldline, or Archive — match the tier to your access patterns
  • Audit-Ready Reporting: Every backup operation is logged and reportable across any date range or Google Cloud project

FAQ

Q: Does Google Cloud SQL provide native protection against ransomware and data deletion?

A: While Google Cloud manages the security of the infrastructure, customers are responsible for the security and protection of their specific data. Native snapshots can be vulnerable if cloud admin credentials are stolen. Rubrik provides a "Security-First" layer with air-gapped, immutable backups that are logically isolated from the primary environment, ensuring your data remains untamperable even during a total account takeover.

Q: How does Rubrik reduce the performance impact on production Google Cloud SQL databases?

A: Rubrik uses an "Incremental Forever" backup approach and pre-computed metadata intelligence to eliminate the need for time-consuming data rehydration. This architecture allows you to scan 75,000 snapshots in approximately 60 seconds, drastically reducing backup windows and providing the industry’s fastest Cyber RTO without degrading production performance.

Q: What is the benefit of Rubrik's integration with Mandiant for Cloud SQL security?

A: Rubrik uniquely integrates Mandiant Threat Intelligence directly into the platform to provide enhanced monitoring and identification of safe recovery points. During an incident, this high-fidelity intelligence helps security teams quickly pinpoint the "last known good" snapshot, preventing the reintroduction of malware during the recovery process.
