IBM Security

Security Intelligence. Think Integrated.  

The Need for Security Intelligence

Your enterprise is producing more data than ever before. It’s being shared faster and more widely than in the past. Additionally, those who are looking to steal that data are becoming more sophisticated and stealthy than ever before. Clearly, a more responsive, more integrated, analytics-driven approach to security is needed.

Building Security Intelligence

IBM believes not only in building security into all of your business and IT processes, but also in assembling a complete view of your overall security posture. To do this, we enable you to pull in data from across the operational pillars of your organization so that you can focus on those threats that matter the most to your business.

Data Explosion – Challenge and Opportunity

The explosion of data presents inevitable challenges for data security and privacy. However, the increasing amount of data also presents us with opportunities as we find smarter ways to derive meaningful, and actionable insights from that data. IBM’s security intelligence approach can help organizations assemble a more complete picture of their security posture. By collecting large volumes of data and events, and synthesizing that into a smaller number of priority events to be investigated, IBM believes that clients can not only understand more, they can be more effective and responsive, reducing risk and costs.

THINK Integrated.

If security is going to be successfully built into your organization, it needs to integrate with your existing technology infrastructure and investments. Additionally, with integration comes a breaking down of “security silo’s” which can contribute to increased risk and uncertainty. For example, vulnerability data discovered in a core application should feed into your network protection strategy, rather than having these tools remain disparate and disconnected. Finally, integration isn't just about technology, it's about understanding your business processes, and how security can drive and support innovative and transformative initiatives.
