PowerSC vs. traditional security tools: Why purpose-built protection matters

By Vivianne Felix posted yesterday

  

Security and compliance are no longer just checkboxes, they’re strategic priorities. But many organizations still rely on traditional security tools that weren’t designed for the unique demands of IBM Power systems. These tools often require manual configuration, lack deep integration, and struggle to keep up with evolving compliance standards.

That’s where PowerSC changes the game.

PowerSC (Security and Compliance for IBM® Power®) is IBM’s integrated solution for securing AIX®, IBM i and Linux workloads on Power. It’s built specifically for virtualized environments and hybrid cloud deployments, offering near real-time compliance reporting, automated patching, centralized auditing, and intrusion detection all optimized for PowerVM and PowerVC.

Unlike traditional tools that operate at the surface level, PowerSC is platform-native. Being platform-native enables it to understand the architecture, the operating system, and the virtualization stack which in turn helps to deliver faster insights, more accurate reporting, and automated responses that align with your operational needs. No bolt-ons. No workarounds. Just intelligent, built-in security.

For CISOs and Compliance Officers, PowerSC helps reduce audit fatigue and ensure continuous compliance. For Security Architects, it provides a unified framework for securing workloads across on-prem and hybrid environments. And for IT teams, it simplifies day-to-day security operations while improving overall resilience.

If your organization is running mission-critical workloads on IBM Power, PowerSC offers a smarter, more efficient way to protect them without the complexity of traditional tools.
