- IBM (IBM, Financial) introduces the first-ever software integrating AI governance and security through a collaboration with watsonx.governance and Guardium AI Security.

- IBM Consulting launches cybersecurity services to aid businesses in adopting secure AI practices.
IBM (IBM) has launched a pioneering software integration aimed at unifying AI security and governance, a crucial step as enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents. This integration between watsonx.governance and Guardium AI Security forms the first all-encompassing solution that addresses both the security and responsible use of AI systems on a large scale.
The new software provides significant advancements in risk management, featuring automated red teaming to identify vulnerabilities, compliance validation across 12 different frameworks like the EU AI Act and ISO 42001, and the detection of AI use cases in cloud environments through a collaboration with AllTrue.ai. This positions IBM favorably against competitors who typically offer either security or governance solutions, but not both.
Key technical capabilities include enhanced detection of AI deployments across various environments, custom security policies, and advanced agent monitoring. These features are available in IBM Guardium AI Security, with the integration with watsonx.governance set to continue rolling out this year.
To further assist businesses in securely scaling their AI operations, IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services is introducing a suite of services focused on integrating data security platforms and providing governance guidance amidst evolving regulatory landscapes.
This unified platform aims to address the increasing challenges of securing and governing autonomous AI systems, making it easier for enterprises to comply with complex global AI regulations and ensuring a responsible scaling of AI technologies globally, with expansions such as availability on AWS data centers in India.
