2024
Drive multi-cloud security, compliance, and cyber resiliency with generative AI.
In 2024, we will leverage automation and generative AI to strengthen defenses and optimize risk posture with continuous compliance. This will lead to fewer failures and faster response and will make organizations more resilient.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Business transformations are expanding the attack surface, making protection increasingly difficult. Generative AI and automation are crucial to enhancing hybrid cloud security, compliance, and cyber resiliency.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
Generative AI–based security and compliance controls will automate security hygiene, demonstrate compliance, and protect hybrid cloud deployments. We will enable continuous monitoring and adaptive policy management with distributed enforcement (e.g., identity-driven data security and policy management).
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
Security and compliance capabilities infused with generative AI will be included in IBM Z, Guardium, Concert, IBM Cloud, and RH/OS to protect IBM’s hybrid cloud.
