Benefits of IBM SEL

Edit online

IBM SEL comes with a number of benefits including technology-enforced security.

IBM SEL provides the following benefits:
  • Instead of relying on deterrence by using extensive audit tracks, IBM SEL provides technology-enforced security rather than process or audit-based security.
  • As a cloud provider that uses IBM SEL, you can attract sensitive workloads that, formerly, were restricted to the workload owner's system.
  • As a secure workload owner, you know that your workload is run in a secure manner, even outside your data center.
  • As a secure workload owner, you can choose where to run your workload, independently of the security level required.
