The IBM z16, IBM’s next-generation system with an integrated on-chip AI accelerator delivers latency-optimized inferencing. This will enable clients to analyze real-time transactions, at scale — for mission-critical workloads such as credit card, healthcare and financial transactions. It is specifically designed to help protect against near-future threats that might be used to crack today’s encryption technologies.
IBM z16 uniquely brings together AI inferencing, via its IBM Telum Processor, with secured and reliable high-volume transaction processing. This will empower banks to analyze for fraud during transactions on a massive scale. IBM z16 can process 300 billion inference requests per day within one millisecond of latency.
With IBM z16, banks can reduce the time and energy required to handle fraudulent transactions on their credit card. For both merchants and card issuers, this could mean a reduction in revenue loss as consumers could avoid frustration associated with false declines where they might turn to other cards for future transactions.
At a time when other threats including tax fraud and organized retail theft are emerging as challenges for governments and businesses to control and Real-time payments and alternative payment methods like cryptocurrencies are pushing the limits on traditional fraud detection techniques, the new capabilities of IBM z16 can help create a new class of use cases, including Loan approval, Clearing and settlement, and federated learning for retail.
Securing data with quantum-safe system
In a hybrid cloud environment inclusive of on-premises and public cloud resources, it is critical to protect against today’s threats and posture against cyber criminals who may be stealing data now for decryption later. Building on IBM technologies like Pervasive Encryption and Confidential Computing, IBM z16 takes cyber resiliency a leap further by protecting data against future threats that could evolve with advances in quantum computing.
Being a quantum-safe system, IBM z16 is underpinned by lattice-based cryptography, an approach for constructing security primitives that helps protect data and systems against current and future threats. With IBM z16 quantum-safe cryptography, businesses can future-ready their applications and data today.
With secure boot (meaning that bad actors cannot inject malware into the boot process to take over the system during startup), IBM z16 clients can strengthen their cyber resiliency posture and retain control of their system. Also, with the Crypto Express 8S (CEX8S) hardware security module will offer clients both classical and quantum-safe cryptographic technology to help address their use cases requiring information confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation. IBM z16’s secure boot and quantum-safe cryptography can help clients address future quantum-computing related threats including harvest now, decrypt later attacks which can lead to extortion, loss of intellectual property and disclosure of other sensitive data.
