It usually starts with a routine audit request or a sudden vulnerability alert. The security team scrambles to gather logs, verify configurations, and prove compliance all while trying to maintain uptime and performance. The stakes are high, and the margin for error is razor-thin.

For CISOs and security leaders, this isn’t a one-time challenge it’s the daily reality of protecting mission-critical systems in a fast-moving threat landscape.

And when your infrastructure runs on AIX, IBM i and Linux on IBM Power, the need for a unified, automated approach to security becomes even more urgent.

IBM PowerSC was built for this moment.

PowerSC is IBM’s integrated security and compliance solution for the previously mentioned Operating Systems. It’s designed to harden your infrastructure from the inside out not just by adding layers of protection, but by embedding security into the core of your systems.

Unlike generic tools, PowerSC is deeply integrated with PowerVM and HMC, enabling real-time monitoring, automated compliance reporting, and proactive threat detection. Features like Trusted Boot and Trusted Logging ensure system integrity from the moment a server powers on. Security and Compliance Automation (SCA) continuously enforces baselines, helping teams stay ahead of audits and vulnerabilities without manual effort.

One financial institution using PowerSC reduced manual compliance tasks by over 50%, freeing up their security team to focus on strategic initiatives while maintaining full audit readiness.

Whether you're securing on-prem workloads or extending protection to hybrid and cloud environments, PowerSC scales with your infrastructure giving you the visibility, control, and automation needed to stay ahead of threats.

Takeaway: Security isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a foundation. With PowerSC, CISOs and security teams can harden IBM Power environments with confidence, clarity, and control.
