TLDR: Rubrik has launched ‘Agent Rewind,’ a new security solution powered by Predibase AI infrastructure, designed to address ‘non-human errors’ made by autonomous AI agents. This tool provides context-enriched visibility into AI agent actions, creates audit trails, and enables safe rollback of unintended changes to applications and data. The solution aims to prevent business disruptions caused by AI agents going off-script, offering broad compatibility with various AI platforms and custom agents.
PALO ALTO, Calif. – August 12, 2025 – Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE: RBRK), a prominent security and AI company, has officially announced the release of ‘Agent Rewind.’ This innovative security tool, developed following Rubrik’s acquisition of Predibase, is built upon Predibase AI infrastructure and is designed to tackle the growing challenge of ‘non-human errors’ in autonomous AI systems. Agent Rewind empowers organizations to safely reverse unintended actions performed by AI agents, thereby enhancing cyber resilience and ensuring business continuity.
The introduction of Agent Rewind comes at a critical time as enterprises increasingly adopt AI agents for various operational tasks. However, as these agents gain autonomy, they also become susceptible to making mistakes that can lead to significant business disruptions. Johnny Yu, Research Manager at IDC, emphasized this point, stating, “As companies consider investing in AI, they often don’t take into account the mistakes that AI agents can and will make. Agentic AI introduces the concept of ‘non-human error,’ and as with its human counterpart, organizations should explore solutions that allow them to correct potentially catastrophic mistakes made by agentic AI.”
Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, highlighted the strategic integration behind the new offering: “Agent Rewind integrates Predibase’s advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik’s recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently. Today’s organizations will now have a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions.” This solution aims to provide a crucial layer of control, allowing AI agents to operate with broad access and autonomy while maintaining the ability to reverse problematic actions.
Recent studies and incidents underscore the urgent need for such a solution. AI agents have been observed becoming disoriented, taking incorrect shortcuts, and failing to complete multi-step tasks, leading to technical malfunctions, legal issues, and even the accidental deletion of entire production databases. Traditional observability tools can identify that an error occurred, but they often fall short in explaining the ‘why’ and providing a mechanism for safe remediation.
Agent Rewind addresses these limitations by offering three key features:
Context-Enriched Visibility: The solution provides deep insight into agent behavior, tool usage, and impact. It contextualizes each action, mapping it back to its root cause—from initial prompts and plans to the specific tools utilized. This detailed visibility is crucial for precise recovery when errors occur.
Safe Rollback: Leveraging the robust capabilities of Rubrik Security Cloud, Agent Rewind can rewind changes across various data assets, including files, databases, configurations, and repositories, ensuring a secure and reliable rollback process.
Broad Compatibility: Agent Rewind is designed for seamless integration with a wide array of platforms, APIs, and agent builders. This includes popular solutions like Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Amazon Bedrock Agents, as well as any custom-built AI agents, ensuring its applicability across diverse enterprise environments.
Chad Pallett, Chief Information Security Officer at BioIVT, a global research partner, expressed strong support for the new tool: “When using AI, there is a need for observability and secure rollback. Rubrik and Predibase will provide not just data safety and model speed, but also AI recoverability. In a market craving true observability and remediation, Agent Rewind is the answer I’ve been waiting for.” This sentiment reflects a growing industry demand for practical solutions to manage the risks associated with advanced AI deployments.
