2024
Drive multicloud cyber resiliency with automated and intelligent security and compliance.
In 2024, we will leverage automation and generative AI to strengthen defenses and optimize risk posture with continuous compliance. This will lead to fewer failures and faster response and will make organizations more resilient.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Generative AI will empower attackers, increase attack sophistication, and grow the attack surface. Organizations will be required to adopt automated and generative AI-based security and compliance to ensure resiliency across multicloud environments.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
IBM-curated, robust security and prescriptive hybrid cloud compliance controls based on generative AI will protect and enable continuous monitoring and adaptive policy management with distributed enforcement (e.g., risk-based threat management, data security policy management, and confidential containers).
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
Automated security and compliance capabilities infused with generative AI will be delivered as cloud-native offerings to protect hybrid cloud environments, e.g., QRadar, Guardium, and Verify.
