Today, IBM Security Services announced a new partnership with Google Cloud to deliver systems integration and managed security services for Google Cloud customers.

Under this new partnership, IBM Security will deliver high value security services and products to Google Cloud clients to enhance the alignment of Google Cloud’s defense-in-depth security capabilities with the enterprise’s security program. Using the combination of Google Cloud technology with IBM security capabilities, organizations can accelerate security as an enabler for innovation on cloud.

"We are delighted to partner with IBM Security to help customers move their critical data assets to Google Cloud with the highest degree of confidence in the security of their data,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President, Global Ecosystem at Google Cloud.

As enterprises continue to adopt Google Cloud and hybrid cloud environments as the key enabler for their digital transformation journeys, they face challenges in enforcing and managing their security and compliance policies. Although Google Cloud provides valuable native security capabilities, organizations are ultimately responsible for security of their complex cloud and IT environments. Further, organizations often require additional expertise and tools to help configure, implement and manage cloud-native controls, including aligning cloud-native controls to their enterprise security program.
