IBM Security Guardium Data Protection supports a zero trust approach to security. It discovers and classifies sensitive data from across the enterprise, providing real-time data activity monitoring and advanced user behavior analytics to help discover unusual activity around sensitive data.
Uncover regulated data in your data stores and use pre-built templates for regulations such as PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA and many more, to streamline and automate compliance workflows.
Control who can access your most sensitive data
Guardium Data Protection is built on a scalable architecture, which provides full visibility into structured, semi-structured and unstructured data activity across all major data repositories—stored on-premises, in private and public cloud and in containers.
Using a single interface, you can set access policies, monitor user access to protected data and discover, investigate and remediate vulnerabilities and threats as they occur in real time across your data environment.

Organizations need a smarter, continuous approach to data security with a set of capabilities that lock down their environments’ attack surface and give them the confidence to aggressively pursue business strategies. These capabilities include:
Discover and classify sensitive data across on-premises and cloud data stores. Organizations need a complete view of their data landscape, in order to effectively assess, prioritize, and take action on threats and other issues.
Protect sensitive data through policies and data activity monitoring. Organizations need to continuously track and monitor their sensitive data to detect and respond to suspicious user behavior, address any exposures and vulnerabilities, and closely guard against excessive entitlements and privileges.
Analyze and harden against risks and vulnerabilities with advanced analytics and assessments. Security teams need to understand where the greatest risks are in their environment, which data sources may be at risk, and the potential risky users (both internal and external) attempting to gain access to sensitive data. They need to improve the detection of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Respond to threats in real-time and send actionable alerts to security operations systems. When potential threats are detected, organizations need to be able to instantly block or shut down a suspicious activity and open a case for deeper investigation. Security analysts need to gain access to key insights that enable faster recovery and reduce the business impact.
Comply with data privacy and security regulations, and simplify auditing and reporting. Many traditional data security platforms have become overwhelmed by the increased volume of data security and auditing data, whether that data comes from monitoring a greater number of platforms and events, or whether it is audit-related data that must be stored for longer periods of time. Automated processes are necessary to make this workload manageable.
Guardium Data Protection can bring these capabilities to bear and deliver meaningful business value.
