Case Study: Gannett achieves unified data security and 80%+ management time savings with Rubrik Security Cloud

Gannett Preserves the Future of Journalism with Help from Rubrik Security Cloud

Gannett, the publisher of USA TODAY reaching over 165 million digital readers per month, faced growing cyber threats—particularly phishing campaigns—that could erode reader trust and revenue. The company was hampered by four disparate legacy tools and lacked centralized visibility, forcing staff to spend hours daily on maintenance instead of strategic work.

Gannett partnered with Rubrik Security Cloud to unify data protection for more than 325 TB of business‑critical data. Rubrik’s Ransomware Monitoring & Investigation and built‑in encryption detection gave enterprise‑wide visibility, reduced management time by over 80% (from ~5 hours/day to <1), and enabled faster, proactive response — preserving continuity, reputation, and newsroom productivity.
