Jennifer Glenn - Research Director, IDC
"Data is the foundation of the modern enterprise. New demands on data – such as GenAI – are making it necessary to more granularly balance usability and security. Further, information about the security and integrity of that data has to be easily shared and/or collaborated on by multiple security teams within an organization.
IBM [Guardium] Data Security Center uses a platform-based approach that is designed to help organizations secure their data across multiple environments from both current and emerging risks."
