IBM announced on Wednesday the launch of new and enhanced services to help simplify security for the hybrid cloud.
The suite of services will help businesses manage their cloud security strategy, policies and controls across hybrid cloud environments by bringing together cloud-native, IBM and third-party technologies with IBM expertise to assist organizations in the creation of a unified security approach across their cloud ecosystems.
The now available expanded suite of IBM Security Services for Cloud will help companies create consistent security strategies across hybrid cloud environments, while being supported by IBM specialists who manage native security controls across Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and Microsoft Azure, amongst others.
"We cannot assume that legacy approaches for security will work in this new operating model-instead, security should be modernized specifically for the hybrid cloud era, with a strategy based on zero trust principles that bring together context, collaboration and visibility across any cloud environment."
The suite includes cloud-native security services, cloud security posture management, container security and cloud security strategy.
IBM also offers security services for Cloud Access Security Broker, which helps organizations protect cloud environments through an integrated approach in planning and implementing a CASB solution.
