The evolving data security analyst
Experts discuss enhancements in the fall releases of Guardium Data Protection 11.5 and Guardium Insights 3.2.
Overview
Simple data security for a complex cloud world
IBM Security Guardium Insights is a data security hub for the modern data source environment. Build and automate compliance policy enforcement, stream, and centralize data activity across a multicloud ecosystem. Utilize the risk-based user experience to “connect the dots” surrounding events that impact your data and wield advanced analytics to uncover data risk insights. Guardium Insights can complement and enhance existing Guardium Data Protection deployments or be installed on its own to help solve compliance and cloud data activity monitoring challenges.
Built on modern, open architecture and delivered in Kubernetes containers, Guardium Insights can deploy and scale in any data environment — including the option of a hosted deployment that gives on-demand access and managed maintenance. With Guardium Insights, you can integrate and share insights with major security tools — including IBM Cloud Pak® for Security (with which it shares its architecture), Splunk, ServiceNow and more — in support of a zero-trust framework.

Benefits
How to support your zero-trust approach to data security
Connect and stream from a variety of data sources (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Snowflake, MongoDB and more). Enable compliance policy and audit workflows, monitor and retain data activity, and uncover risks with advanced analytics.
Accelerated compliance
Greatly reduce hours spent preparing and performing audits by producing data security and compliance reports in seconds — using out-of-the box and advanced, customizable reports and content.

Centralized visibility
Monitor and analyze activity in context from disparate sources, across the hybrid multicloud, to gain a consistent view. Many data sources do not require a Guardium Data Protection Collector.

Flexible deployment
Scale and adapt to accommodate cloud sources and quickly integrate with other IT and security tools — such as Splunk and ServiceNow — to share enriched, contextual data security insights across teams.

Faster, intelligent action
While using the risk engine, you can reduce noise and exclude non-critical assets from your reports. Advanced analytics help you understand the broader story, identify data risks and threat patterns, enable immediate action, and keep all stakeholders informed.
