As hybrid cloud-, AI-, and quantum-related risks upend the traditional data security paradigm, IBM<\/a> is launching\u00a0IBM Guardium Data Security Center<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 allowing organizations to protect data in any environment, throughout its full lifecycle, and with unified controls.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Guardium Data Security Center provides a common view of organizations’ data assets, empowering security teams to integrate workflows and address data monitoring and governance, data detection and response, data and AI security posture management, and cryptography management together in a single dashboard. IBM Guardium Data Security Center includes generative AI capabilities to help generate risk summaries and boost security professionals’ productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center features\u00a0IBM Guardium AI Security,\u00a0software to help protect organizations’ AI deployments from security vulnerabilities and data governance policy violations at a time when generative AI adoption \u2013 and the risk of “shadow AI,” the presence of unsanctioned models \u2013 is surging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Guardium Data Security Center also features\u00a0IBM Guardium Quantum Safe,\u00a0software\u00a0that helps clients to protect encrypted data from the potential risk of future cyberattacks driven by bad actors who gain access to cryptographically relevant quantum computers. IBM Guardium Quantum Safe builds upon expertise from IBM Research \u2013 including IBM’s post-quantum cryptography algorithms \u2013 and IBM Consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Generative AI and quantum computing provide immense opportunities, but they also bring new risks,” says Akiba Saeedi, Vice President, IBM Security Product Management. “During this transformative time, organizations need to improve their crypto-agility and carefully monitor their AI models, training data, and usage. IBM Guardium Data Security Center \u2013 with its AI Security, Quantum Safe, and other integrated capabilities \u2013 provides comprehensive risk visibility.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Guardium Quantum Safe\u00a0helps organizations gain visibility and manage enterprise cryptographic security posture to address vulnerabilities and guide remediation. It allows organizations to enforce policies based on external, internal, and government regulations by pulling crypto algorithms used in code, vulnerabilities detected in code, and network usages into a single dashboard for security analysts to monitor policy violations and track progress \u2013 without having to piece together information distributed across various systems, tools, and departments. Guardium Quantum Safe offers customizable metadata and flexible reporting so that critical vulnerabilities can be prioritized for remediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Guardium AI Security\u00a0manages security risk and data governance requirements for sensitive AI data and AI models. It helps discover AI deployments, address compliance, mitigate vulnerabilities, and protect sensitive data in AI models through a common view of data assets. IBM Guardium AI Security integrates with IBM watsonx and other generative AI SaaS providers. For example, IBM Guardium AI Security helps discover “shadow AI” models and then shares them with IBM watsonx.governance, so they no longer elude governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An integrated approach for a transformative time<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid cloud-, AI-, and quantum-era risks mean key data \u2013 from medical records and financial transactions to IP and critical infrastructure \u2013 require new forms of protection. During this transformative time, organizations urgently need a trusted partner and an integrated approach to data security \u2013 not a patchwork of point solutions. IBM is pioneering this integrated approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Guardium Quantum Safe dovetails with broader\u00a0Quantum Safe\u00a0offerings from IBM Consulting and Research. The software is powered by technology and research developed by IBM Research. Several of IBM Research’s post-quantum cryptography algorithms were\u00a0recently standardized\u00a0by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), marking a crucial milestone to protect the world’s encrypted data from the risk of bad actors who may gain access to cryptographically relevant quantum computers to carry out cyberattacks in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM Consulting’s Quantum Safe Transformation Services leverage these technologies to help organizations define risks, inventory and prioritize them, confront them \u2013 and then scale the process. IBM Consulting’s cybersecurity bench includes scores of professionals with experience in cryptography and quantum safe technology. Dozens of clients in telecommunications, finance, government, and other industries leverage IBM Quantum Safe Transformation Services to help safeguard their organizations against future risks and present risks like harvest now, decrypt later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBM today is also adding decentralized identity features to its Verify portfolio:\u00a0IBM Verify Digital Credentials\u00a0enables users to store and manage their own credentials. The feature digitizes physical credentials like drivers’ licenses, insurance cards, loyalty cards, and employee badges, which can then be standardized, stored, and shared with comprehensive security, privacy protection, and control.\u00a0IBM Verify\u00a0is an IAM (identity access management) solution that protects identity across the hybrid cloud.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
