TIM Engineering is adopting the Rubrik security architecture for RCBC (Rizal Commercial Banking), one of the largest universal banks in the Philippines.
This strategic partnership, facilitated in collaboration with Exclusive Networks Philippines, one of Rubrik’s official distributors in the Philippines.
Rubrik said it marks a significant advancement in RCBC’s data security posture and strengthens overall cyber resiliency amid today’s increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.
As the financial industry becomes an increasingly attractive target for cyber threats, banks are under immense pressure to modernize their cybersecurity infrastructure.
The partnership between RCBC and Rubrik signals a strategic shift towards advanced, integrated data security systems aimed at addressing cyber threats often faced by financial institutions.
Also, this partnership reflects RCBC’s resolve to move beyond compliance and adopt technology that ensures business continuity and mitigate sophisticated cyberattacks.
Rubrik’s architecture is designed with Zero Trust principles to protect data wherever it resides, whether on-premise, in the cloud, or SaaS environments.
With Rubrik, RCBC will leverage an integrated solution for sophisticated cyber threat detection, cyber resilience, and recovery without the need for additional third-party components.
The bank also expects to be empowered with advanced machine learning capabilities for continuous cyber threat monitoring, threat hunting, and malware identification, further strengthening its overall data security posture and cyber resilience.
“Rubrik’s advanced security architecture enables us to minimize business disruptions and mitigate potential cyber risks,” said Nilo Zantua, SVP and CIO of RCBC.
“This partnership is a critical step in modernising our data security infrastructure, empowering us to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats while delivering secure and seamless services to our wide customer base,” said Zantua.
Abhilash Purushothaman, GM and VP for Asia of Rubrik, said RCBC is now equipped with a proactive cybersecurity approach complete with Rubrik’s data protection capabilities that will future-proof their operations.
TIM Engineering has been instrumental in bringing this partnership to fruition, delivering critical support and expertise throughout the entire process from evaluation to implementation.
“We are entrusted with the mandate of assisting RCBC in progressing its cyber resilience objectives,” said Martin Antunez, President of TIM Engineering.
