Enhance Your Cloud Security: IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Cener Workload Protection (SCC WP) Easy Add-On for VPC Provisioning

IBM Cloud now makes it easier to integrate security into your infrastructure from the start. When provisioning Virtual Server Instances (VSIs) or Bare Metal Servers in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you can add Security & Compliance Center Workload Protection (SCC WP) directly during setup.

Why This Matters

Traditionally, enabling security posture management required separate steps after deployment, adding complexity and delays. With this new add-on, you can enable access to view security posture recommendations immediately—helping you identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps before workloads go live.

Technical Advantages

• Integrated Security Visibility: SCC WP hooks into the provisioning workflow, giving you real-time posture insights.

• On-Demand Activation: Enable SCC WP without reconfiguring workloads or restarting instances.

• Continuous Compliance: Automatically monitor for misconfigurations and enforce security best practices.

• Multi-Resource Support: Works across VSIs and Bare Metal Servers in VPC environments.

Why Choose This Add-On

• Reduce operational overhead by eliminating manual security setup.

• Accelerate compliance for regulated workloads.

• Gain confidence with proactive posture management built into your cloud lifecycle.
