Case Study: UC Irvine Health achieves rapid data recovery and enhanced cyber resilience with Rubrik

UC Irvine Health - Customer Case Study

UC Irvine Health, a Level I trauma center serving over three million patients in Orange County, faced the challenge of modernizing IT across cloud, SaaS, and on‑prem environments without introducing vulnerabilities that could disrupt critical patient care. The organization needed a way to adopt new technologies while ensuring rapid recovery and continuous operations in the face of cyber threats.

UC Irvine Health implemented Rubrik’s data protection platform—including Microsoft 365 protection, anomaly detection, and sensitive data monitoring—paired with regular tabletop exercises and run‑booked recovery priorities to harden cyber resilience. The result: near‑instant recovery of critical data (for example, a decade of physician emails restored after accidental deletion), streamlined incident response through cross‑team coordination, and improved preparedness that helps maintain uninterrupted patient services.
