IBM Infrastructure: Continuous Risk & Compliance
The Next Level for Business Transformation: Securing AI and the Application Modernization Journey
AI transformation is more than technological innovation – it’s a strategic shift that demands proactive, real-time risk and compliance monitoring—embedded across the entire development lifecycle.
In this model, AI development workflows and large language models (LLMs) become integrated components of the enterprise risk scoring system. This ensures that every stage of AI development including AI endpoints, creation and deployment are continuously assessed for compliance and security.
As organizations modernize mainframe applications for efficiencies and to meet evolving regulatory standards, every change can be monitored for risk – enabling confident expansion of workloads on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE. This provides continuous risk measurement ensuring modernization efforts are aligned with enterprise governance.
Organizations gain peace of mind AI adoption and infrastructure modernization strategically governed with industry frameworks and best practices.
The Smarter, Proactive SOC
With prioritized, proactive alerts and actionable recommendations, the burden of guesswork and manual analysis is lifted from the Security Operations Center (SOC). Analysts immediately see prioritized risks needing their attention ranked by business impact. No more second-guessing priorities, overwhelming alert volumes, or piecing together fragmented data.
IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE are now integral parts of a unified, intelligent ecosystem for modern enterprise-wide corporate risk control.
Automation powered by default and customizable templates accelerates security operations, patching, and ITSM workflows. As risks are addressed, the system continuously updates the organization’s overall risk posture.
New AI Application Security, including LLM security scanners and access layer monitoring, brings visibility and control to AI. These tools help detect and prevent threats like prompt injections and shadow AI, ensuring both inbound and outbound AI activity is governed by policy.
The system is aligned with the latest industry compliance frameworks, including those rapidly evolving for AI. IBM and Trend are actively contributing to standards bodies shaping frameworks.
The ROI: Measurable Impact and Value
A study by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), part of Informa Tech Target, highlights the tangible benefits of adopting a proactive risk and compliance strategy. Organizations reported an average savings of $1.3 million—driven by a 99.6% reduction in alert volume and 65% faster threat response times.
IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE contribute directly to these types of outcomes with:
- Real-time telemetry
- AI-powered threat detection
- Automated risk scoring
This combination minimizes manual overhead and accelerates response times – transforming cybersecurity from reactive firefighting into strategic proactive risk management. The result? Enhanced operational efficiency and measurable financial value.
Sustainability Meets Performance
As organizations prioritize sustainability, IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE offer a compelling solution: consolidating VMs and workloads onto a platform that’s more space and energy efficient. High workload density and lower power consumption help meet environmental goals without compromising performance or security.
Seamless Continuity Across Platforms
Consolidation isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about continuity. IBM Z and LinuxONE now support a consistent set of security, observability, and automation tools like those available on x86, ensuring consistent operational experience. This protects existing investments in training, architecture, and workflows—reducing transition costs and accelerating time-to-value.
