Description

Outdated software significantly contributes to security vulnerabilities. We ensure our images are perpetually refreshed with the latest updates and fixes. Each image is backed by service level agreements (SLAs) that commit us to delivering patches or solutions for any identified vulnerabilities within a specified timeframe. Our goal is to maintain zero known vulnerabilities in our images. This approach eliminates the need for extensive hours spent on analyzing reports generated by scanning tools. Our team possesses a comprehensive understanding of the entire landscape, having developed some of the most impactful foundational open-source projects in this field. We recognize that achieving automation is crucial while still maintaining developer productivity. Enforce creates a real-time asset inventory database that enhances developer tools, facilitates incident recovery, and streamlines audit processes. Additionally, Enforce is capable of generating software bill of materials (SBOMs), monitoring active containers for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), and safeguarding infrastructure from insider threats. Ultimately, our commitment to innovation and security helps organizations maintain a robust defense against evolving threats.

Description

IBM Cloud™ Data Shield allows users to operate containerized applications within a secure enclave on the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service host, ensuring data-in-use protection. This innovative service facilitates user-level code to establish private memory areas known as enclaves, which remain safeguarded from higher privilege processes. Expanding support for Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), it broadens the programming language options from just C and C++ to include Python and Java™, as well as offering preconfigured SGX applications for popular tools like MySQL, NGINX, and Vault. Leveraging the Fortanix Runtime Encryption platform alongside Intel SGX technology, these resources empower organizations handling sensitive information to confidently utilize cloud computing solutions. By integrating IBM Cloud Data Shield, enterprises with critical data can seamlessly deploy and harness the advantages of cloud services while maintaining robust security measures. Moreover, this platform ensures that sensitive operations are executed in a protected environment, further enhancing trust in cloud-based applications.
