Conclusion

Linux is Linux is a true statement which implies that Linux® on IBM® Z and IBM LinuxONELinux on LinuxONE inherits all security concepts supported by any Linux.

Yet, hardware designed for security does make a difference. IBM Z® and LinuxONE systems provide a reliable root of trust. It protects workloads deployed in virtual machines, protects data in-flight, at-rest, and in-use. With directly attached HSMs you can run workloads that need to comply with the strictest regulations. Running protected key cryptography for dm-crypt allows end-to-end encryption of data at-rest in an automatically managed server environment.

IBM cares about your data. That is why IBM Z, especially IBM z16, and LinuxONE systems are designed for security, and why IBM leads you on a journey to a quantum safe future.
