Protect your data from current and emerging
risks through a unified experience
Highlights Hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) are cornerstones of an organization’s
digital transformation strategy as they can help to enhance operations and boost
Protect your structured innovation. Yet, as data expands into hybrid cloud and generative AI deployments,
there is an expanded threat surface. Rapid advancement of quantum computing
and unstructured data on-
technology and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks by bad actors, pose additional
premise and in the cloud
threats to the security of our digital landscape. Business and technology innovation
can leave critical data unprotected.

tuning data, models and applications - can lack a security and governance lifecycle
Empower security teams to protect against risks. Organizations are struggling with how to prioritize risks and
to collaborate through address security gaps across a spectrum of use cases — from shadow data, shadow
integrated workflows and AI to cryptographic posture. In addition, data protection is becoming increasingly
an open ecosystem complex and difficult when using separate tools to address component parts of the
data security lifecycle.
Traditional methods of data protection must evolve to protect data in the cloud, in AI
and in the quantum era. To simplify data protection in the future, a shift from point
products to a data security platform is occurring. Organizations need a
modern solution to help protect sensitive data across these emerging risk sources
in addition to their traditional data security missions. They also need a unified
solution to bring siloed teams and tools together to protect their critical assets –
organization data.
IBM® Guardium® Data Security Center protects your data from current and emerging
risks, including AI threats and cryptographic attacks, through unified security
controls. Manage the full data security lifecycle, from discovery to remediation,
across all your data environments. It allows you to break down organizational silos
and empowers security teams to collaborate across the organization through
integrated workflows, a common view of data assets, centralized compliance
policies and an open ecosystem.
