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.

Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a messaging protocol designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is lightweight enough to be supported by the smallest devices, yet robust enough to ensure that important messages get to their destinations every time. With MQTT devices, such as energy meters, cars, trains, mobile phones and tablets, and personal health care devices, devices can communicate with each other and with other systems or applications. IBM® MessageSight is a messaging appliance designed to handle the scale and security of a robust IoT solution. MessageSight allows you to easily secure connections, configure policies for messaging, and scale to up to a million concurrently connected devices. This IBM Redbooks® publication introduces MQTT and MessageSight through a simple key fob remote MQTT application. It then dives into the architecture and development of a robust, cross-platform Ride Share and Taxi solution (PickMeUp) with real-time voice, GPS location sharing, and chat among a variety of mobile platforms. The publication also includes an addendum describing use cases in a variety of other domains, with sample messaging topology and suggestions for design.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides a broad view of how Tivoli® system management products work together in several common scenarios. You must achieve seamless integration for operations personnel to work with the solution. This integration is necessary to ensure that the product can be used easily by the users. Product integration contains multiple dimensions, such as security, navigation, data and task integrations. Within the context of the scenarios in this book, you see examples of these integrations. The scenarios implemented in this book are largely based on the input from the integration team, and several clients using IBM products. We based these scenarios on common real-life examples that IT operations often have to deal with. Of course, these scenarios are only a small subset of the possible integration scenarios that can be accomplished by the Tivoli products, but they were chosen to be representative of the integration possibilities using the Tivoli products. We discuss these implementations and benefits that are realized by these integrations, and also provide sample scenarios of how these integrations work. This book is a reference guide for IT architects and IT specialists working on integrating Tivoli products in real-life environments.
