Traditional security can’t keep pace

Too much
to do.

Too many
vendors.

Too much
complexity.

Too many
alerts.

Too many
silos.

Traditional security wasn’t built to handle the level and complexity of the transformation that’s going on today. Security leaders have too much to do, too many tools from too many vendors, and too much complexity in their processes and compliance mandates, all of which can lead to too many alerts with not enough skilled staff to deal with them.

And as companies modernise IT and move to hybrid cloud environments their data footprint is expanding.

That expanded footprint creates a bigger attack surface for hackers to get to your data. To meet the challenge, security leaders are deploying dozens of point tools to protect their data and assets. But this ad hoc strategy is disconnected, insufficiently integrated, and reactive.

To make matters worse, traditional security programs still operate in silos. Sure, there are connections between the silos, and it’s a good start, but it lacks the visibility and context needed to gain critical insights to advance business safety in our new era. Simply put, companies need to transform their security program to keep up with their business, but with too much to do, too many vendors, too much complexity, and too many alerts, they’re having to re-think their approach.

IBM Security helps organizations put zero trust into action with what IBM calls the “Shield” approach. The “shield” isn’t just a logo, but an adaptive, continuous security approach to help speed businesses up, not slow them down, by focusing on 4 key security outcomes:

Align your security strategy to your business

Protect digital users, assets, and data

Manage defenses against growing threats

Modernize your security with an open, multicloud platform

“Zero trust helps us enable critical business capabilities while managing security”

- CISO, Global Chemical Manufacturer

A unified and open approach for teams
to connect data and workflows

You need a common control plane where teams can openly connect data and workflows to implement Zero Trust. This enables shared data, analytics, and a common set of services that can break down the silos between teams and tools across Threat Management, Data Security, and Identity & Access Management (IAM). It’s also imperative to have an Open Security Ecosystem with modular capabilities that give organizations the flexibility to adapt as their needs change.

Threat management is is a process used by cybersecurity professionals to prevent cyber attacks, detect cyber threats and respond to security incidents.

Data security is the practice of protecting digital information from unauthorized access, corruption, or theft throughout its entire lifecycle. .Data security involves deploying tools and technologies that enhance the organization's visibility into where its critical data resides and how it is used.

Identity and access management, or IAM, is the security discipline that makes it possible for the right entities (people or things) to use the right resources (applications or data) when they need to, without interference, using the devices they want to use. IAM is comprised of the systems and processes that allow IT administrators to assign a single digital identity to each entity, authenticate them when they log in, authorize them to access specified resources and monitor and manage those identities throughout their lifecycle.

In addition to offering a secured cloud platform, it is equally important we build a trusted ecosystem around it. We believe that ecosystems are key to unlocking the full benefits of the cloud, especially for companies in highly regulated industries.

What people say about IBM security

How do you balance security and user experience?

  • Continuously authenticate any user to any resource

  • Centralize access control with single sign-on  to cloud and on-premises applications

  • Add a security layer with MFA or go fully passwordless with modern options

  • Proactively protect users and assets with risk-based authentication and adaptive access

How do you track access over time and how it’s being used?

  • Provision, audit and report on user access

  • Prioritize regulatory compliance actions with   risk-based insights

  • Make better decisions with actionable intelligence

  • Take a business-activity approach to risk modeling rather than role-based

How do you grant access to
the right users?

  • Discover, manage, protect, and audit privileged accounts across your organization

  • Monitor anomalous privileged activity via behavioral analytics

  • Enforce least privilege security and control application rights on endpoints

  • Centrally manage passwords used to access applications and services

  • Prevent secret sprawl

How to deliver personalized
experiences?

  • Achieve a single client identity and stitch together data stores for better insights

  • Keep up with privacy regulations by obtaining  and tracking consumer consent

  • Strike the balance between security and user experience by only challenging MFA when needed

  • Enable technical teams with low-code and no-code experiences to build modular CIAM flows quickly and effectively
