IBM Garage Accelerates Secure Cloud Platform

Key Points

  • The team faced a major hurdle entering the highly regulated and complex cybersecurity sector, where disruptive solutions are especially difficult to introduce.
  • To ensure true cloud‑native capabilities, they selected a loosely coupled architecture built on Kubernetes, containers, and IBM Cloud Private, allowing the solution to run on any cloud platform.
  • IBM Garage supplied the necessary expertise, methodology, and a product‑owner mindset, bridging the skill gap the organization had with the chosen technologies.
  • With a solid product foundation now in place, the solution is designed to scale enterprise‑wide and be extensible for future AI/ML features and partner integrations.

0:02and Merlin the biggest challenge was 0:05that it was in the toughest industry 0:07which is hyper security cybersecurity is 0:10a very complex space to begin with it's 0:13a very very established industry so 0:15coming into the space where the 0:17disruptive mind is a unique challenge in 0:19itself we wanted to make sure that the 0:20cloud technology we choose is native and 0:23native cloud technologies are very hard 0:26to build in a private cloud environment 0:27and that's where kubernetes and 0:31containers and the IBM cloud environment 0:33became really important so choosing a 0:35loosely coupled architecture and 0:37choosing IBM cloud private and IBM 0:39strains it allowed us to ensure that 0:43these processes can run in any cloud the 0:47garage was able to provide us the skills 0:49that were needed for those technologies 0:51which was huge because many times when 0:53we choose the technology we just don't 0:55have the skills in-house the IBM garage 0:58gave us the methodology and it also 1:00allowed everyone to think like a product 1:02owner so what the garage allows everyone 1:04to do is come into an ecosystem where 1:08you enhance your own capabilities but 1:11you follow a process which is very 1:12nimble we've established a very strong 1:16product and going forward all we have to 1:21do is scale it to an enterprise scale 1:23and we can onboard many many new 1:26features and technologies like AI like 1:29machine learning we can grow with 1:31partnerships we are already working with 1:33a lot of companies today who want to 1:34onboard their solutions on our platform 1:36because we are extensible 1:40you
