Application Resilience Posture Management

IDC Spotlight: AI-Driven Automation for Application Resilience That Ensures Compliance

Get a complimentary copy of the report and learn how AI-driven automation strengthens resilience. Find out why weak resilience is a risk and hear proven practices to combat it.

IT resilience is complex and far from solved

Downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a direct business risk that impacts developers, SREs, operations teams and business leaders alike. Developers struggle with maintaining secure and reliable code, operations teams face pressure to sustain availability and recoverability, SREs must bridge gaps across silos and business leaders need confidence in resilience investments. Without a standardized, data-driven approach, teams are left making inconsistent, reactive decisions around how to stay resilient.

See how it works

Fragmented tools and siloed data

Disconnected tools across environments make it hard to see the full picture of resilience.

Manual, time-consuming correlation

Hours wasted stitching data leads to missed insights and delayed action.

High cost and skill gaps

Without in-house expertise, organizations pay heavily for outside resilience assessments.

Too complex to scale

Teams guess, risking blind spots and slow recovery—and the explosion of data is outpacing humans.

Turning IT resilience into a science with IBM Concert

IBM® Concert® takes a unique approach to resilience, combining automation and real-time insights into a standardized, scalable framework to assess, enhance and sustain resilience like never before.

By replacing manual, fragmented assessments with a unified approach, organizations can achieve consistent, data-driven visibility into their resilience health (availability, recoverability, observability and more). This shift drives measurable impact—cutting the time required for resilience posture evaluations by 62%.1 With Concert, resilience becomes not only proactive, but also repeatable and sustainable at scale.

Real-time scoring to expose and address gaps in your resilience posture

Concert provides real-time visibility into your resilience posture with intuitive scoring. This approach helps development teams gain actionable feedback to strengthen maintainability and integrity while operations teams and SREs can quickly surface issues before they disrupt availability or recovery targets.

Leverage automated workflows to boost uptime and reduce outages and costs

Concert automates remediation workflows, minimizing risks and outages. This approach frees up operations teams and SREs to focus on higher-value work while reducing the need for costly external consultants. With proactive recommendations and AI-driven resilience actions, you ensure stability and efficiency at scale.
