With IBM z16, IBM is introducing a new software product, IBM Z Security and Compliance Center, that automates the collection and validation of the evidence against a set of controls, the system, operating system, middleware, and applications. With complex hybrid-cloud environments, stitching together all the information needed for an audit is complicated and time-consuming. Regulations are increasing and becoming stricter over time, increasing the cost of compliance. IBM is introducing is the IBM Z Security and Compliance Center to simplify and streamline compliance tasks. Simplifying and streamlining compliance tasks IBM allows customers to perform this operation up to 12 times a year, so six round trips. IBM is also announcing Flexible Capacity for cyber resiliency, allowing a fully automated client-initiated site swap within seconds, which can then stay for a year.Ĭustomers can dynamically shift production workloads from one IBM z16 system to another IBM z16 system in seconds-an almost instantaneous shift of capacity from one environment to another.
The IBM z16 system has resiliency and redundancy built-in, from the Telum chip to the operating system. Essentially, to be ready for anything, including natural disasters, cyber-attacks, insider threats, and socio-economical changes worldwide. The next level of resiliency requires a flexible enterprise infrastructure that is proactive and responsive. Resiliency no longer means redundancy, where a secondary site is good enough. The similarity query delivers a ranked list of different accounts with similar patterns. SQL Data Insights can display other accounts that have similar transactions and, therefore, might be also be involved in money laundering.
Customers don't need to be data scientists to leverage this capability.įor example, a bank has identified an account involved in money laundering. SQL Data Insights leverages AI to enable semantic queries that extend the current database technologies and enable advanced database applications to detect implicit relationships from the data. SQL Data Insights facilitates acquiring database knowledge via cognitive intelligence that can discover hidden relationships between transactions. The new release includes a feature called SQL Data Insights. It will now utilize the embedded AI accelerator on the Telum processor.Īdditionally, IBM is launching IBM Db2 13 for z/OS. This ML solution makes predictive decisions using insights from operational data – including native z/OS applications. IBM also announced some related news regarding Watson Machine Learning for IBM z/OS.
