Tech giants IBM and Microsoft have joined forces to elevate the security posture of their shared customers' cloud environments. This "strengthened cybersecurity collaboration," as they describe it, aims to fortify defenses and simplify security management.

Building on their existing AI partnership (IBM Copilot Runway program), this collaboration brings together the best of both worlds:

• AI-Powered Threat Detection & Response: IBM's Threat Detection and Response (TDR) Cloud Native solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft security products like Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud. This powerful combination leverages AI to automate threat detection and response, while IBM Consulting offers 24/7 security monitoring for added peace of mind.
• Streamlined Identity Management: The partnership extends beyond threat detection. By leveraging Microsoft's Entra family of identity and access management tools, organizations can navigate the complexities of securing hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This simplifies identity management, reduces costs associated with multiple solutions, and ultimately enhances overall security.

This collaboration between IBM and Microsoft empowers organizations to fortify their defenses and streamline security management. With AI-powered threat detection and a unified identity management solution, businesses can focus on innovation, confident that their data and infrastructure are well-protected.
