Rubrik has launched Project Hourglass with six global systems integrators to deliver Rubrik Agent Cloud for Anthropic's Claude Code to enterprise customers.
The launch partners are Cognizant, Deloitte, LTM, HCLTech, NTT Data and Wipro.
The alliance targets the security and operational risks associated with autonomous AI agents in large organisations. The integrators are building Rubrik Agent Cloud into their cybersecurity and digital transformation work as more businesses use AI systems to write and deploy code.
The offering includes observability and governance tools, as well as a function to reverse unintended agent actions. It also provides recovery for codebases after destructive actions and a control-plane resilience feature that backs up, monitors and restores the configuration governing agent behaviour.
The move extends Rubrik's recent push into software designed to oversee AI agents in enterprise development environments. It also gives the company access to the customer bases of large consulting and technology services firms that advise companies on cyber risk, cloud systems and AI adoption.
Rubrik cited research from Rubrik Zero Labs showing that 86 per cent of cybersecurity leaders expect AI agents to outpace their organisation's security guardrails within the next year. The finding highlights growing concern among chief information security officers and engineering teams as autonomous systems take on more work in software development and operations.
The new alliance sits within Rubrik's Agentic Resilience Partner Program, which gives systems integrators joint sales support, technical certification tracks and access to Rubrik engineering teams for integration work.
Alok Agrawal, Chief Solutions Officer at Rubrik, said customer demand is being shaped by a practical question about risk.
"As global enterprises accelerate their adoption of Claude Code, integrators are fielding the question from CISOs and engineering leaders: how do we let AI agents write and deploy code without introducing catastrophic new risk?" said Alok Agrawal, Chief Solutions Officer at Rubrik.
"Rubrik Agentic Cloud for Claude Code answers that question with three integrated layers: Runtime Agent Security for behavioural guardrails and blast-radius control, Agent Rewind for fast repository recovery, and AI Context Guard for prompt integrity and control-plane protection," Agrawal said.
Partner response
Several launch partners outlined how they expect to incorporate the software into their existing platforms and service models.
"Enterprises are letting AI agents write and deploy code faster than their controls can keep up, and the gap is where the risk lives. Cognizant operationalises Rubrik Agent Cloud inside how we already run enterprise AI for clients, embedding it into our Neuro AI platform so agents can act with the visibility, governance and recovery that regulated industries require. That is the difference between buying a capability and running it in production at scale," said Sriram Kumaresan, Global Head of Cloud and Infrastructure Services at Cognizant.
Deloitte linked the alliance to broader changes in cyber resilience planning for autonomous systems.
"Integrating autonomous AI systems requires a fundamental shift in how organisations approach cyber resilience. Together with Rubrik, we are equipping enterprise leaders, as part of our Ascend service delivery platform, with additional resilience and recovery capabilities that build on existing AI safeguards. By layering this added trust into new workflows, organisations can confidently scale autonomous agents and accelerate innovation," said Mike Kosonog, Alliance Leader for Rubrik and Partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP.
LTM framed the partnership around the shift from AI trials to operational deployment.
"Enterprises are moving quickly from AI experimentation to operational deployment, and that shift brings new considerations around security, governance and resilience. Our collaboration with Rubrik through Project Hourglass helps clients adopt agentic systems like Claude Code with greater confidence and the controls needed to manage risk at scale," said Krishnan Iyer, Chief Growth Officer at LTM.
HCLTech said resilience should be built into AI deployment from the outset.
"As enterprises move from experimentation to scaled deployment of Agentic AI, resilience is becoming a foundational requirement, not an afterthought. Rubrik's innovation and HCLTech's deep engineering and cybersecurity expertise help organisations operationalise AI with confidence. By embedding resilience into the development and governance of autonomous systems and leveraging HCLTech's VERITY Frontier AI Resilience framework, we enable clients to unlock the full potential of Agentic AI-securely, responsibly and at enterprise scale," said Amit Jain, EVP and Global Head of Cybersecurity at HCLTech.
NTT Data pointed to the wider build-out of autonomous enterprise systems.
"As organisations scale AI adoption to enable the next generation of the autonomous enterprise, security must evolve just as quickly. This requires deep cybersecurity and AI expertise, and the right technology foundations. Through our collaboration with Rubrik as part of Project Hourglass, NTT DATA will help organisations drive Agentic Resilience for Anthropic's Claude Code and empower them to rapidly scale their agentic AI-driven transformation with greater confidence and speed," said Sheetal Mehta, Global Head of Cybersecurity at NTT DATA, Inc.
Wipro said customers are already pairing adoption of agentic development tools with questions about controls and recovery.
"Our enterprise clients are rapidly adopting agentic development models, and the security conversation is happening in parallel-not as an afterthought. Project Hourglass gives us a production-ready answer when CISOs ask what happens if an agent misbehaves. Combined with Wipro's Intelligence Framework-WINGS for automated operations and WEGA for AI orchestration-it embeds resilience into the agent lifecycle, with runtime guardrails, instant repo recovery and context-plane protection enabling enterprises to scale agentic development with confidence," said Satish Y, SVP Cloud Infrastructure & Security Services at Wipro.
Rubrik Agent Cloud for Claude Code is generally available.
