Map and secure your crypto landscape

IBM Z® Crypto Discovery & Inventory (zCDI) helps you understand where and how cryptography is used across various areas of your IBM Z environment. By consolidating data from multiple sources, zCDI simplifies compliance, reduces risk and accelerates your journey to quantum-safe cryptography.

Get a unified view of cryptographic posture

Gain visibility into cryptographic usage across various areas of your IBM Z infrastructure. Track vulnerabilities, detect exposures and monitor remediation efforts in one streamlined interface.

Simplify compliance enforcement

Define and apply cryptographic policies that align with both internal governance and evolving regulatory frameworks, simplifying audits and compliance reporting.

Accelerate risk-based remediation

Identify high-risk cryptographic implementations and prioritize mitigation efforts by using contextual insights such as business criticality and compliance status, all in a single dashboard.

Support quantum-safe transition

Establish a robust cryptographic inventory to prepare for post-quantum migration. Understand what to replace, where to start and how to build a prioritized and risk-informed roadmap.
