We’re working on building the most secure cloud infrastructure platforms. Our research focuses on ensuring the integrity of everything in the stack, reducing the attack surface of cloud systems, and advancing the use of confidential computing and hardware security modules.

The cloud computing revolution has brought new security challenges. Confidential computing aims to protect applications and their data when running in the cloud. It works by consistently keeping the application and data encrypted, and only decrypting it inside the processor using keys known to the application/data owner and the processor.

We’re driving infrastructure innovations spanning physical infrastructure, operating systems, and software-defined compute, network, and storage. Our goal is to create technologies that improve performance, reliability, security, and ease of operation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure

The hybrid cloud can help businesses tap into the potential of the cloud, while retaining the benefits of private environments. At IBM Research, we’re pursuing open-source standards and code to create an agile and scalable platform that can be deployed anywhere.

Cyber attacks, from botnets to zero-day exploits, cost the world billions each year. We're working to build trusted systems that can proactively help organizations defend against attacks, by identifying bugs and vulnerabilities in code and systems, securing them, and preventing them from being exploited.

Security Analysis at Scale

Building trusted systems that can proactively help organizations defend against advanced cyber attacks.

We’re building the next wave of tools and methodologies to help security and operations teams detect, understand, and respond to advanced cybersecurity threats and attacks on their infrastructure and in the cloud, with automated threat detection, investigation, and deflection capabilities.
