Manila, Philippines – IBM, a multinational tech firm, has recently introduced the company’s latest IBM Guardium Data Security Centre, specifically designed for organisations to safeguard their data in any environment throughout its full cycle and without unified controls.
As a new solution, the initiative empowers security teams to incorporate workflows and address data monitoring and governance, data detection and response, data and AI security posture management, and cryptography management in a single dashboard. This encompasses generative AI capabilities to help generate risk summaries and boost security professionals’ productivity.
It also features IBM Guardium AI Security, software that manages security risk and data governance requirements for sensitive AI data and AI models. This innovation helps discover AI deployments, address compliance, mitigate vulnerabilities, and protect sensitive data in AI models through a common view of data assets.
Another significant component is the IBM Guardium Quantum Safe, which assists clients in safeguarding encrypted data from malicious actors using cryptographically relevant quantum computers. The said function helps organisations gain visibility and manage enterprise cryptographic security posture to address vulnerabilities and guide remediation.
It further enables them 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. This can be achieved without having to piece together information distributed across various systems, tools, and departments.
IBM Guardium Quantum Safe merges with broader Quantum Safe offerings from IBM Consulting and Research. The software, according to the company, is powered by technology and research developed by IBM Research.
Its Consulting’s Quantum Safe Transformation Services, on the other hand, utilise these technologies to help organisations define risks, inventory and prioritise them, confront them, and then scale the process.
Additionally, the company shared its addition of IBM Verify Digital Credentials, allowing users to store and manage their own credentials. This new feature digitises physical credentials like drivers’ licenses, insurance cards, loyalty cards, and employee badges, which can then be standardised, stored, and shared with comprehensive security, privacy protection, and control.
“Generative AI and quantum computing provide immense opportunities, but they also bring new risks,” said Akiba Saeedi, vice president at IBM Security Product Management.
“During this transformative time, organisations need to improve their crypto-agility and carefully monitor their AI models, training data, and usage. The IBM Guardium Data Security Centre, with its AI Security, Quantum Safe, and other integrated capabilities, provides comprehensive risk visibility,” Saeedi further shared.
