Rubrik has appointed Sathish Murthy as its new Field Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, marking a strategic move to bolster its cyber resilience vision. Murthy, a seasoned leader with over 25 years of expertise in data security, storage, cloud, and AI, will focus on helping enterprises across the region enhance their cyber recovery strategies.

With organizations increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks, Rubrik is doubling down on its efforts to strengthen enterprise security. Murthy’s appointment underscores the company’s commitment to enabling businesses to protect and recover their most critical digital assets.

Driving Cyber Resilience Across APJ

Murthy joins Rubrik from Cohesity, where he played a pivotal role in guiding enterprises through modernizing their data protection frameworks. His expertise in cyber resilience, data protection, and security strategy positions him well to support Rubrik’s customers in mitigating cyber risks and ensuring business continuity.

“I am thrilled to welcome Sathish Murthy to Rubrik at a pivotal time when organizations are increasingly facing cyber threats targeting their most valuable asset—their data,” said Abhilash Purushothaman, Vice President and General Manager (Asia) at Rubrik. “As Field CTO, Sathish will be instrumental in evangelizing Rubrik’s cyber resilience vision, fostering executive mindshare, and helping organizations across the region fortify their cyber recovery strategies.”

Murthy will lead initiatives that help enterprises enhance their Cyber Recovery Time Objective (Cyber RTO) strategies—critical for organizations looking to recover quickly and minimize operational disruptions after cyber incidents.

Expanding Leadership in Cybersecurity

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, Rubrik continues to position itself as a leader in cyber resilience and data protection. The company has been actively expanding its security solutions to address the rising concerns of ransomware, data breaches, and operational downtime. Murthy’s appointment strengthens Rubrik’s capabilities in delivering cutting-edge security solutions tailored to enterprises operating in an increasingly volatile cyber environment.

His experience in AI-driven security strategies, cloud security, and data governance will further Rubrik’s mission to safeguard enterprise data, regardless of where it resides. As organizations in APJ navigate the complexities of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Murthy’s leadership will be instrumental in helping businesses stay resilient against evolving cyber risks.

A Strategic Move for Rubrik’s Growth

Rubrik’s decision to appoint Murthy as Field CTO comes at a time when enterprises are accelerating their investments in cyber resilience. With regulatory requirements tightening and cyberattacks becoming more disruptive, the demand for robust data protection and rapid recovery solutions has never been higher.

Murthy’s role will focus on enabling customers to refine their cyber recovery frameworks, enhance security postures, and build long-term resilience. His strategic insights and technical expertise will contribute to Rubrik’s continued expansion and leadership in the cybersecurity space.

By reinforcing its executive leadership with experienced professionals like Murthy, Rubrik is not only addressing the growing security concerns of enterprises but also shaping the future of cyber resilience in the APJ market.
