Take control of your data security in the cloud

As organizations adopt more sophisticated technology and development practices, increasing volumes and dispersion of data have made data security a challenge of extraordinary proportions.

Inadequate data security strategies significantly increase the risk of data leaks, breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and substantial penalties for non-compliance with data privacy regulations. Available in IBM® Guardium® Data Security Center, IBM® Guardium ® DSPM discovers, classifies, and monitors sensitive data across cloud environments and SaaS applications, addressing several critical challenges:

  • Data sprawl - Discover and classify all cloud data, including "shadow data", to pinpoint its precise location, track its movement, and manage access to it.
  • Shrinking attack surface - Remove publicly exposed sensitive data in hybrid cloud environments and SaaS apps.
  • Compliance & privacy - Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements concerning data privacy.
  • Resource optimization - Enhance efficiency and reduce cloud costs within cloud infrastructures.
