As hybrid cloud-, AI-, and quantum-related risks upend the traditional data security paradigm, IBM is launching IBM Guardium Data Security Center – allowing organizations to protect data in any environment, throughout its full lifecycle, and with unified controls.
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 and key 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.
“Generative AI and quantum computing technologies present new opportunities and risks to Indian organizations,” says Viswanath Ramaswamy, Vice President of Technology, IBM India and South Asia. “As Indian organizations navigate growing cybersecurity risks related to AI and evolving compliance regulations, they should invest in robust software capabilities to secure their AI data, models, and usage. Taking a proactive approach to secure quantum computing, which is the next big technology frontier, will also be crucial. IBM Guardium Data Security Center will provide Indian organizations with comprehensive visibility and protection against potential cybersecurity risks.”
The center features IBM Guardium AI Security, software to help protect organizations’ AI deployments from security vulnerabilities and data governance policy violations at a time when generative AI adoption – and the risk of “shadow AI,” the presence of unsanctioned models – is surging.
IBM Guardium Data Security Center also features IBM Guardium Quantum Safe, software that 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 – including IBM’s post-quantum cryptography algorithms – and IBM Consulting.
IBM Guardium Quantum Safe helps 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 – 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.
