IBM Guardium Data Security
Center provides unified, SaaS-first data security
capabilities amid hybrid cloud, AI, and quantum
transformation
New software part of IBM's comprehensive
approach for protecting hybrid cloud and AI
ARMONK,
N.Y., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As hybrid
cloud-, AI-, and quantum-related risks upend the traditional data
security paradigm, IBM (NYSE: 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 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.
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.
"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
– with its AI Security, Quantum Safe, and other integrated
capabilities – provides comprehensive risk visibility."
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.

IBM Guardium AI Security manages 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.

An integrated approach for a transformative
time
Hybrid cloud-, AI-, and quantum-era risks mean key data – from
medical records and financial transactions to IP and critical
infrastructure – require new forms of protection. During this
transformative time, organizations urgently need a trusted partner
and an integrated approach to data security – not a patchwork of
point solutions. IBM is pioneering this integrated
approach.
IBM Guardium Quantum Safe dovetails with broader Quantum
Safe offerings 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
recently standardized by 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.
IBM Consulting's Quantum Safe Transformation Services leverage
these technologies to help organizations define risks, inventory
and prioritize them, confront them – 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.
IBM today is also adding decentralized identity features to its
Verify portfolio: IBM Verify Digital
Credentials enables 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. IBM Verify
is an IAM (identity access management) solution that protects
identity across the hybrid cloud.
