IBM launches platform to protect data from AI and quantum risks

IBM Guardium Quantum Safe

Another key module is Guardium Quantum Safe, which is designed to help customers protect their sensitive data and harden their environments against quantum-enabled cyber risks.

“The Guardium Quantum Safe module provides users with ongoing comprehensive visibility into, and greater control over, the cryptography used across their IT environment so they can prioritize vulnerabilities and create a targeted remediation roadmap,” IBM stated.

The module helps organizations manage their cryptographic security systems by applying security policies against their cryptographic inventory, discovering cryptographic vulnerabilities, and prioritizing remediation according to business objectives.

Guardium Quantum Safe integrates with common network operations and scanning tools, and it explores which cryptographic assets are used by which applications and network endpoints in order to secure sensitive or privileged data, IBM stated.

Customers can opt to integrate other modules into the broader IBM Guardium Data Security Center platform as well. For example, IBM Security Guardium Data Protection lets customers protect sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments, and IBM Security Guardium Vulnerability Assessment lets users scan for database vulnerabilities on-premises or in the cloud.

IBM Guardium Data Security Center is expected to be available in November.
