Autonomous Security for Cloud
In the face of today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are embracing cloud adoption to drive innovation and growth. However, this journey comes with its own set of challenges such as ensuring security and compliance in the cloud, poor visibility, resource intensive processes, limited expertise, and complex regulations which all result in misconfigurations and policy drift. These challenges hinder cloud adoption and put organizations at risk of security breaches and non-compliance penalties. That’s why IBM and AWS developed Autonomous Security for Cloud (ASC), an IBM solution that revolutionizes how businesses approach cloud adoption. By integrating AWS Bedrock’s cutting-edge AI technology, it automates and streamlines security and compliance tasks to address misconfigurations and policy drift. Our solution is a game-changer in enabling businesses to accelerate their cloud adoption journey with confidence. With Autonomous Security for Cloud, you can ensure higher security standard from the get-go, significantly reducing the manual effort and time traditionally required to achieve compliance. You’ll reap a plethora of benefits including automated deployment, continuous monitoring, AI-driven compliance monitoring, and drift detection with autonomous remediation. This results in reduced risk of breaches, lower operational costs, and faster, simplified cloud resource deployment.
Don’t get left behind. Accelerate your cloud adoption journey with confidence with Autonomous Security for Cloud.
IBM and Palo Alto Networks IBV study reveals how organizations can overcome security complexity and experience better ROI.
Employs AI to meticulously tailor the AWS environment, ensuring it aligns perfectly with customer-specific internal policies. This approach guarantees that every deployment is compliant from the start, significantly reducing the need for manual checks and streamlining the entire deployment process. It enhances efficiency and security, making cloud adoption smoother and more reliable.
Leverages a constantly evolving AI model to ensure compliance with the latest standards. This dynamic system automatically adjusts to regulatory changes, maintaining alignment with both current and future regulations. It provides peace of mind by ensuring compliance, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties, and enhancing operational agility in the regulatory landscape.
Leveraging AI for detecting and responding to security threats across the network with precision. The AI model, trained on diverse threat data, identifies potential risks, executing both automatic and semi-automatic responses to mitigate threats swiftly. This minimizes risk and strengthens the security framework, keeping the cloud environment safe and resilient.
How ASC Elevates Cloud Posture Beyond Traditional CSPM
ASC analyzes each client’s unique regulatory and policy documentation to infer a fully tailored compliance framework that aligns precisely with their specific business requirements.
Traditional CSPM tools evaluate workloads against fixed industry standards, like PCI.
ASC’s Gen AI-driven capabilities autonomously deploy AWS controls for client workloads based on a tailored framework.
CSPM tools typically rely on reactive alerts for configurations issues, requiring manual intervention.
ASC continuously ingests documentation on evolving standards and client policies, identifies impacted workloads and updates the corresponding AWS security configurations.
CSPM compliance packs requires manual reference.
