Build cyber resilience for your data with IBM FlashSystem
In today’s digital age, the threat landscape continues to evolve and organizations become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. To combat these growing risks, the concept of cyber resilience has become very important. Cyber resilience refers to an organization’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber threats while maintaining continuity of operations. In this blog, we’ll explore the concept of cyber resilience from an IBM® perspective and how our approach can help organizations protect themselves in an ever-changing cybersecurity environment.
The need for reliable, resilient, recoverable, and corruption-free data governance has long been achieved through backup and recovery routines, but more modern technologies have been developed to support proactive measures to prevent threats before they occur. IBM FlashSystem® enhances existing tasks such as error detection and immutable copies with more features including error code detection, immutability sections, and centralized environment management.
Cyber resilience is more than just cybersecurity measures. It involves a holistic approach that focuses on resilience at all levels of an organization’s infrastructure, from applications and networks to data and people. It recognizes that breaches are inevitable and places equal emphasis on prevention, detection, response, and recovery.
Our Approach to Cyber Resilience
- Risk Assessment and Strategy: IBM emphasizes the importance of performing a thorough risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities and potential threats. By understanding your organization’s unique risk environment, IBM helps you develop a strategic roadmap that aligns your cybersecurity investments with business goals to ensure optimal protection while optimizing resources.
- Prevention and Protection: Preventing cyber threats before they cause damage is a fundamental aspect of cyber resilience. IBM offers a broad range of solutions and services to protect organizations from evolving threats, including advanced threat detection, encryption, access control, and identity management. Our expertise in security system development ensures proactive defense measures are in place.
- Incident Response and Recovery: Accidents can occur despite strong precautions. IBM recognizes that a quick and effective response is needed to minimize damage. We provide organizations with incident response services, including threat hunting, forensics, and crisis management, to help them identify, contain, and eradicate threats. Additionally, IBM’s resilient infrastructure solutions enable efficient data recovery and system restoration to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.
- Continuous monitoring and learning: Cyber threats evolve rapidly, so it is essential for organizations to stay ahead of the curve. IBM emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and learning. Our advanced security analytics tools combined with threat intelligence and machine learning capabilities enable proactive threat detection, anomaly detection, and pattern analysis. By continuously learning from past events, organizations can strengthen their cyber resilience posture.
- collaborative approach: IBM recognizes that no organization can address cyber threats alone. We advocate a collaborative approach, sharing threat intelligence, best practices, and insights with our partners and the cybersecurity community. Initiatives like IBM X-Force® Exchange enable organizations to access actionable intelligence to remain resilient against emerging threats.
One of the key approaches IBM has adopted comes from storage’s ability to handle the fastest and most critical responses to resiliency. One of the most important tenets of IBM’s guidelines is compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Importantly, it relies on storage for the fastest recovery.
In an era where the complexity and scale of cyber threats continue to increase, cyber resilience is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for organizations. IBM’s comprehensive approach to cyber resilience includes risk assessment, prevention, incident response, continuous monitoring and collaboration to help organizations protect critical assets and maintain business continuity. By adopting IBM’s perspective on cyber resilience, organizations can combat cyber threats and secure their digital future.
Want to take a free cyber readiness assessment? IBM offers a free cyber resilience assessment conducted through a two-hour virtual workshop with IBM security experts and storage architects. This assessment is confidential, vendor-neutral, non-invasive, and doesn’t require you to install anything or run any scripts. You will receive a detailed report on the findings, a roadmap of recommended improvements and considerations, and a management presentation linking practical ways to achieve critical business outcomes. You can also schedule a meeting on the IBM FlashSystem page.
