Cognizant becomes launch partner for Rubrik Agent Cloud governance layer
CTSH•With Rubrik Agent Cloud, Cognizant will embed the technology as a governance layer in its Neuro AI platform and AI Factory to provide real-time policy enforcement, action visibility and rollback capabilities for autonomous AI agents. The initial integration focuses on regulated sectors including healthcare, life sciences, financial services and insurance.
1. Alliance Expansion
Cognizant has expanded its strategic alliance with Rubrik to operationalize Rubrik Agent Cloud as a governance layer, becoming one of the first global systems integrators to implement the offering within its AI platforms. This partnership leverages Rubrik’s Project Hourglass framework to deliver agentic resilience for enterprise AI coding agents.
2. Integration within AI Platforms
The integration spans Cognizant Neuro AI and AI Factory, embedding Rubrik Agent Cloud to monitor autonomous AI agent actions, enforce real-time policies, and enable reversal of unintended agent operations. This control layer tracks each agent-initiated change, scopes potential impacts, and aligns with standards like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001.
3. Targeted Sectors and Benefits
Initial deployments focus on healthcare, life sciences, financial services and insurance, where auditability and operational control are critical. By providing visibility into agent activities and governance, Cognizant aims to accelerate production-scale AI adoption while mitigating operational risks.
