Two frontiers, one platform: securing the AI you adopt today and the cryptography that protects you tomorrow.
AI enters the company faster than any control. And meanwhile quantum computing shortens the life of the cryptography protecting everything else.
shadow AI in the cloud and repositories, autonomous agents, sensitive data in the prompts
"harvest now, decrypt later": the long-lived data stolen today gets decrypted tomorrow
The IBM Guardium family protects the critical data with a simple model: discover, analyze, respond. Today that perimeter also includes AI models and cryptography.
sensitive data, AI models and cryptographic objects inventoried automatically, wherever they are
posture, vulnerabilities and anomalies with analytics and AI: first what exposes the most
guided remediation, policies and reports ready for audits and compliance
Every team adopts models, copilots and agents on its own. The result is an invisible risk surface: shadow AI.
in the cloud, in the code repositories and inside the applications with embedded AI: where nobody is inventorying it
vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, sensitive data in the prompts, autonomous agents acting without guardrails
a continuous inventory and a posture measured over time: not a one-off audit that ages right away
Security for AI models, agents and data along the whole life cycle, from development to production.
automatic, continuous discovery of AI models and agents: in the cloud, in the code repositories and in the apps with embedded AI
AI Security Posture Management and automated red teaming: vulnerabilities and misconfigurations emerge before the release
scanning of the inbound and outbound prompts: injection, personal data, information leaks, with customizable policies
with watsonx.governance: security risk and compliance in a single view, on the same use case
When Guardium discovers a shadow AI, it enters watsonx.governance, gets associated with the use case and receives the right controls. Two teams, a single view of the risk.
an uninventoried model or agent appears in the cloud or in a repository
the finding gets associated with the business use case and the appropriate risk controls
security and governance read the same picture: business and security risk together
Because an ungoverned AI agent isn't innovation: it's a risk with the right credentials.
the attackers collect encrypted data today and wait for the quantum computer to open it
patents and industrial secrets, healthcare, banking and public-sector data: they hold value for decades
inventorying and replacing a company's cryptography takes years: that's why you start now
NIST publishes the PQC standards: ML-KEM and ML-DSA, born partly in the IBM Research labs
the classic algorithms (RSA, ECC) heading to deprecation in the NIST roadmap
full retirement planned: those who haven't migrated stay exposed
Sources: NIST and IBM
You can't migrate what you can't see: the cryptographic posture starts from the inventory and reaches crypto-agility.
an inventory of algorithms, keys and certificates across systems and applications: the "shadow" cryptography emerges too
the post-quantum risk measured: weak or obsolete algorithms flagged, reports ready for the audits
risk scores and mapped dependencies: first the systems exposing the longest-lived data
crypto-agility towards the PQC algorithms with automated remediation workflows
From October 2025 the Quantum Safe capabilities flow into IBM Guardium Cryptography Manager: posture, keys, certificates and database encryption in a single solution, with generative AI insights (source: IBM).
deep visibility over the cryptographic landscape, mapped dependencies, a company risk score and automated remediation workflows
the life cycle in a single tool: automated key generation and certificate renewal, consistent policies everywhere
transparent database encryption without agents, with automatic detection of the encryption gaps on the main enterprise databases
Generative AI accelerates the decisions: advanced insights and faster remediation on the cryptographic estate.
The Guardium posture leans on an ecosystem that's already ready for the quantum era and for AI.
quantum-safe by design: ML-KEM and ML-DSA cryptography on secure boot, memory and inter-partition traffic
secrets, keys and PKI managed next to the systems: the strategy's operational safe
the resilience and compliance posture (DORA, NIST) measured continuously, with the evidence for the audits
the governance of the company's AI, joined with Guardium's security in a single view of the risk
YoctoIT is a company of the Var Group, services division. We protect the data where it really lives: on Power, in the data center and in our customers' cloud, every day.
Certified quality: ISO 9001:2015 · ISO 27001:2022 · ISO/IEC 27017 and 27018 · IBM Fusion Certified Partner
“IT that never stops”
An inventory of the company's AI and a cryptographic inventory: the snapshot of both waves, with the quick wins.
The Guardium platform on the priority perimeters: cloud, repositories, databases and core systems.
AI posture and PQC migration by risk priority: first what exposes the long-lived data.
Continuous compliance in the YoctoIT Managed Services: reports, evidence and improvement over time.
You don't need to do everything at once: you need to know where you stand. The rest is a roadmap by priority.
