Secure the lifecycle of data for generative AI

We will protect the lifecycle of data with enterprise key and certificate lifecycle management, lineage tracking, classification, and leakage protection, transforming data security for the age of AI.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

Organizations will be empowered to address the security challenges associated with the growing complexity of data environments, ensuring robust protection against threats in generative AI and enhanced trust in digital interactions.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

Accountability enhancements, extensive monitoring, unified data security frameworks, advanced data loss prevention solutions, and automated key and certificate lifecycle management will strengthen data protection in generative AI applications and foster trust in digital ecosystems.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

These advances will be delivered on AI middleware, data security, and identity access management (IAM) products that support scalability, interoperability, and compliance with industry standards, ensuring robust security for generative AI applications.
