2023

Use secure foundation models in unified threat management to protect high-value assets.

In 2023, the protection of high-value assets in the hybrid cloud will tighten with unified threat management and compliance. AI will raise the mean time to failure and lower the mean time to recovery to within an hour.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

With an evolving security threat landscape, unified threat management and compliance will protect businesses from growing threats and allow faster response across hybrid cloud environments.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

Standardized industry controls, development of an industry-leading open assessment platform, and compliance management tools will protect the attack surface. An IBM-driven, cloud-native, and enterprise-grade log management solution with open-standards, behavior analytics, and AI will monitor the attack surface. Automation with AI will enhance the response time.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

We will deliver an AI differentiated, cloud-native, open unified threat management platform (e.g., QRadar). It will be simple to use and integrated with infrastructure, the multicloud platform, applications, and data.
