Frank Dickson, VP of Security and Trust at IDC, said,
As more companies adopt a hybrid, multi-cloud approach to managing applications of all sorts across PaaS, SaaS, IaaS and on-premises, centrally automated and managed technologies that can execute security and compliance capabilities at scale are required. The IBM Security and Compliance Center addresses this requirement for holistic protection – which is especially crucial for organizations in highly regulated sectors that manage sensitive data, such as financial services – regardless of the application within which the data may live.
