Case Study: Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust achieves rapid cyber resilience and 5-minute system recovery with Rubrik

Northumbria Healthcare Elevates Cyber Resilience with Rubrik

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which serves over 500,000 patients and employs around 12,000 staff across northeast England, faced rising data volumes and a legacy backup system that couldn’t meet the speed or cyber-resilience demands of modern digital healthcare. With patient safety dependent on continuous access to critical systems and the NHS moving toward cloud-first services, the trust needed a reliable disaster recovery and ransomware-resistant solution.

Northumbria deployed Rubrik Security Cloud, Cloud Native Protection and SaaS Data Protection for M365, leveraging immutability, anomaly detection and threat-hunting to protect on‑premises and cloud workloads. The result: recovery times dropped from hours to minutes, a full patient-record DR spin-up in about 90 minutes, secured backups with anomaly detection, improved confidence and productivity for IT and security teams, and stronger continuity of care.
