Scaling

Independence of resources
IBM Concert is built on a multi tenant, cloud native
architecture that isolates workloads at several
layers. The platform combines resource level
isolation, dynamic scaling, and traffic shaping
policies to guarantee predictable performance for
every tenant, even when others generate heavy
demand.

Analytics

usage metrics that give you visibility into how the
platform is being consumed across your
organization. The core metrics include API call
volume, data export frequency, workflow execution
counts, user session duration, concurrent active
users, storage utilization (object store and
database), error rate per endpoint, latency per
request, and resource allocation trends (CPU,
memory, and network I/O). Each metric is
captured in near real time, stored in the Concert
telemetry store

availability. This is defined in the cloud services
agreement. [1]
https://www.ibm.com/support/customer/csol/terms/
?id=i126-9828&lc=en
Approach to resilience
IBM Concert is built on a multi-zone multi-region,
cloud native architecture that isolates failures and
automatically recovers services. Each tenant runs
in its own Kubernetes namespace, protected by
pod level security policies and Istio service mesh
mTLS , ensuring that a fault in one tenant cannot
affect another. The control plane is replicated
across three Availability Zones (AZs) per region; if
an AZ loses power or network, traffic is instantly
rerouted to the remaining zones via IBM’s global
load balancer.

IBM has an Information Technology (IT) Security
policy that establishes the requirements for the
protection of IBM's worldwide IT systems and the
information assets they contain, including
networks and computing devices such as servers,
workstations, host computers, application
programs, web services, and telephone systems
within the IBM infrastructure. IBM’s IT Security
policy is supplemented by standards and
guidelines, such as the Security Standards for
IBM's Infrastructure, the Security and Use
Standards for IBM Employees and the Security
Guidelines for Outsourced Business Services.
Such are reviewed by a cross-company team led
by the IT Risk organization every six months. IBM
has a dedicated Vice President of IT Security who leads a team responsible for IBM's own enterprise
data security standards and practices.
Responsibility and accountability for executing
internal security programs is established through
formal documented policies. IBM Services teams
also have dedicated executives and teams who
are responsible for information and physical
security in the delivery of our client
services.Information Security Management

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
IBM maintains policies and procedures to manage
risks associated with the application of changes to
its Cloud Services. Prior to implementation, all
changes to a Cloud Service, including its systems networks and underlying components, will be
documented in a registered change request that
includes a description and reason for the change,
implementation details and schedule, a risk
statement addressing impact to the Cloud Service
and its clients, expected outcome, rollback plan,
and documented approval by IBM management or
its authorised delegate. Our items such as change
management processes are audited via ISO27001
and internal IBM audits related to IBM ITSS.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
With each Cloud Service, as applicable and
commercially reasonable, IBM will a) perform
penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
before production release and routinely thereafter,
b) enlist a qualified and reputable independent
third-party to perform penetration testing and
ethical hacking at least annually, c) perform
automated management and routine verification of
underlying components’ compliance with security
configuration requirements, and d) remediate any
identified vulnerability or noncompliance with its
security configuration requirements based on
associated risk, exploitability, and impact. IBM takes reasonable care to avoid Cloud Service
disruption when performing its tests, assessments,
scans, and execution of remediation activities
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
IBM maintains and follows policies requiring
administrative access and activity in its Cloud
Services’ computing environments to be logged
and monitored, and the logs to be archived and
retained in compliance with IBM’s worldwide
records management plan. IBM monitors
privileged account use and maintain security
information and event management policies and
measures designed to a) identify unauthorized
administrative access and activity, b) facilitate a
timely and appropriate response, and c) enable
internal and independent third party audits of
compliance with such policies. IBM systematically
monitors the health and availability of production
Cloud Service systems and infrastructure at all
times.
Incident management type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
IBM: -maintains and follows incident response
policies aligned with NIST guidelines for computer
security incident handling, and will comply with
data breach notification requirements under
applicable law. -investigates security incidents,
including unauthorised access or use of content or
the Cloud Service, of which IBM becomes aware,
and, if warranted, define and execute an
appropriate response plan. -promptly notifies
Client upon determining that a security incident
known or reasonably suspected by IBM to affect
Client has occurred. -provides Client with
reasonably requested information about such
security incident and status of applicable remediation and restoration activities performed or
directed by IBM.
