Guardium Data Security Center overview
IBM Guardium Data Security Center protects your data from current and emerging risks, including AI threats and cryptographic attacks, through unified security controls. The offering helps you manage the full data security lifecycle, from discovery to remediation, across all your data environments. It allows you to break down organizational silos and empowers security teams to collaborate across the organization through integrated workflows, a common view of data assets, centralized compliance policies and an open ecosystem.
Hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) are cornerstones of an organization’s digital transformation strategy as they can help to enhance operations and boost innovation. Yet, as data expands into hybrid cloud and generative AI deployments, there is an expanded threat surface. Rapid advancement of quantum computing technology, and harvest now, decrypt later attacks by bad actors, pose additional threats to the security of our digital landscape. Business and technology innovation can leave critical data unprotected.
There can be a loss of visibility of where data is stored, who has access to it, and how it is protected. Growing usage of generative AI deployments, with training and fine-tuning data, models and applications, can lack a security and governance lifecycle to protect against risks. Organizations are struggling with how to prioritize risks and address security gaps across a spectrum of use cases - from shadow data and shadow AI to cryptographic posture. In addition, data protection is becoming increasingly complex and difficult when using separate tools to address component parts of the data security lifecycle.
Traditional methods of data protection must evolve to protect data in the cloud, in AI, and in the quantum era. To simplify data protection in the future, a shift from point products to a data security platform is occurring. Organizations need a modern solution to help protect sensitive data across these emerging risk sources in addition to their traditional data security missions. They also need a unified solution to bring siloed teams and tools together to protect their critical assets and organizational data.
Guardium Data Security Center is a unified data security platform that allows you to manage the full data security lifecycle, from discovery to remediation, for varied data types and across data environments.
Guardium Data Security Center is designed to share data, events and insights between modules - contributing and consuming this information between modules and with the platform. It offers a powerful combination of common services, such as identity and access, risk and policy engines, data ingestion and warehouse, and an integration gateway. Additionally, shared experiences bring intelligence and workflows together across modules. At the heart of the solution are common standards, accessibility and common design for optimal user interface and user experience.
