IBM Secure Gateway (On-Demand only)

Use IBM Secure Gateway to maintain an encrypted connection between an on-premises Secure Gateway Client and the Secure Gateway Servers that IBM maintains on Cloud. This allows you to use IBM Cognos Analytics on Cloud On-Demand to securely consume your on-premises data.

First, you install the Secure Gateway Client in your on-premises network and configure an encrypted (TLS v1.2) bi-directional connection with the on Cloud Secure Gateway server. Next, you establish a secure connection between the Secure Gateway Client and an on-premises database. This on-premise database is called the destination database. Your on-premises data can then be securely accessed and manipulated by Cognos Analytics on Cloud On-Demand.
