Cristie is proud to announce that we are now Rubrik Black Belt certified. This is an important recognition of our deep technical expertise and our long-term commitment to delivering market-leading cyber recovery and restoration solutions when it really matters.

What does Rubrik Black Belt certification mean?
In martial arts, a black belt symbolizes years of training, discipline, and precision. In cyber recovery, the Rubrik Black Belt represents the equivalent level of skill: the ability to design, implement, and operate advanced recovery solutions that work in the real world.
The Rubrik Black Belt certification confirms our ability to:
- Building recovery architectures based on Zero Trust principles
- Ensure verified recovery, not just assumed backups
- Automate recovery tests to clean room environments
- Orchestrate fast and clean recovery from ransomware and cyber incidents
- Deliver solutions that meet modern compliance requirements such as NIS2 and DORA
