IBM Guardium: Total Data Security for the Hybrid & AI Era
Discover, protect, and govern your data across any cloud, any database, and any AI model.
Data is everywhere. So are the risks.
IBM® Guardium®, available from Insight, helps you take control of your data by showing exactly what’s happening across your most sensitive environments. From on premises to databases to the cloud, it continuously monitors activity, reduces risk, and protects against both internal and external threats — while helping you stay compliant and adapt as your IT landscape evolves.
The three pillars of Guardium
1. Know your data.
Guardium Data Security Posture Management gives you a clear view of your data. It uncovers what you have, where it lives, and where it may be exposed so you can take action before risks turn into issues.
Key capabilities:
- Shadow data discovery so you can automatically uncover hidden or unmanaged data across cloud and SaaS
- Automated classification to identify sensitive data like personal or regulated information
- Vulnerability assessment to spot weak points before they become real problems
2. Protect your data in real time.
Guardium Data Protection & Monitoring helps you safeguard sensitive data as it’s accessed and used. The result? Real-time visibility and control to detect threats, enforce policies and compliance, and reduce risk.
Real-time activity monitoring (DAM): Track every SQL query and file access across hybrid environments.
Threat detection: Strengthen defenses with AI-powered identification of SQL injections, brute force, and insider threats.
Dynamic masking: Hide sensitive data from unauthorized users in real time without changing the database.
3. Secure what’s next.
Guardium AI Security and quantum-safe cryptography help protect data in emerging technologies so you can safely adopt AI today while preparing for the risks of tomorrow.
Guardium AI Security: Secure your AI pipeline, detect prompt injections, and prevent sensitive data leakage into LLMs.
Quantum-safe cryptography: Inventory your encryption certificates to prepare for the post-quantum era.
One hub. Total visibility.
The Guardium Insights hub brings everything into one place so you can make smarter decisions, faster. This centralized audit and analytics layer helps streamline compliance and gives teams clear visibility into how data is accessed and used:
Centralized visibility: Leverage a single pane of glass for visibility across your on-premises, cloud, and SaaS security.
Risk scoring: Prioritize which data assets need attention based on a unified risk metric.
Compliance automation: Access out-of-the-box reporting for GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX.
Take control of your data, no matter where it lives or how it’s used. Speak with an Insight expert to get started.
