Cybersecurity is the most important arm of defense against cyberattacks. With the recent increase in cyberattacks, corporations must focus on how they are combating these new high-tech threats. When establishing best practices, a corporation must focus on employees' access to specific workspaces and information. IBM Z® focuses on allowing high processing virtual environments while maintaining a high level of security in each workspace. Organizations not only need to adjust their approach to security, but also their approach to IT environments. To meet new customer needs and expectations, organizations must take a more agile approach to their business. IBM® Z allows companies to work with hybrid and multi-cloud environments that allows more ease of use for the user and efficiency overall. Working with IBM Z, organizations can also work with many databases that are included in IBM Cloud Pak® for Data. IBM Cloud Pak for Data allows organizations to make more informed decisions with improved data usage. Along with the improved data usage, organizations can see the effects from working in a Red Hat OpenShift environment. Red Hat OpenShift is compatible across many hardware services and allows the user to run applications in the most efficient manner. The purpose of this IBM Redbooks® publication is to: Introduce IBM Z and LinuxONE platforms and how they work with the Red Hat OpenShift environment and IBMCloud Pak for Data Provide examples and the uses of IBM Z with Cloud Paks for Data that show data gravity, consistent development experience, and consolidation and business resiliency The target audience for this book is IBM Z Technical Specialists, IT Architects, and System Administrators.

Many organizations must protect their mission-critical applications in production, but security threats can also surface during the development and pre-production phases. Also, during deployment and production, insiders who manage the infrastructure that hosts critical applications can pose a threat given their super-user credentials and level of access to secrets or encryption keys. Organizations must incorporate secure design practices in their development operations and embrace DevSecOps to protect their applications from the vulnerabilities and threat vectors that can compromise their data and potentially threaten their business. IBM® Cloud Hyper Protect Services provide built-in data-at-rest and data-in-flight protection to help developers easily build secure cloud applications by using a portfolio of cloud services that are powered by IBM LinuxONE. The LinuxONE platform ensures that client data is always encrypted, whether at rest or in transit. This feature gives customers complete authority over sensitive data and associated workloads (which restricts access, even for cloud admins) and helps them meet regulatory compliance requirements. LinuxONE also allows customers to build mission-critical applications that require quick time to market and dependable rapid expansion. The purpose of this IBM Redbooks® publication is to: Introduce the IBM Hyper Protect Services that are running on IBM LinuxONE on the IBM Cloud™ and on-premises Provide high-level design architectures Describe deployment best practices Provide guides to getting started and examples of the use of the Hyper Protect Services The target audience for this book is IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Services technical specialists, IT architects, and system administrators.
