Our continuously changing threat landscape
Today’s security threat landscape sees challenges such as social engineering, identity and intellectual property theft, extortion and fraud. With an increasing number of people adopting a mobile work-style, it’s vital that your network has appropriate security measures in place to protect your critical business data from these and other emerging security threats.
Integrated security throughout your network infrastructure
Rapid advances in technology have caused wide-spread adoption of converged communications, mobility and wireless technologies, and e-business applications, all of which are facilitating virtually unprecedented network access to business applications and data. However, such advances result in increased exposure to external and internal threats. Now, more than ever, external forces threaten the integrity and availability of our critical networks, the unified communication tools they facilitate, and the sensitive business data they carry, making companies vulnerable to the loss of business continuity, intellectual property and competitive market advantage. To mitigate these risks, companies need to integrate secure solutions throughout their converged networks to provide layered and ubiquitous defences to not only help prevent information technology intrusions but also facilitate awareness and effective response to attacks when they occur.
A firewall alone no longer constitutes a secure network. To mitigate today’s sophisticated threat landscape, security solutions have evolved from point products to multiple, integrated layers of protection, providing companies with the ability to thwart any malicious attacks.
IBM can design an integrated security solution that enables your entire network infrastructure to work in unison and provides the next generation of security solutions for your business.
Letting the good guys in. Keeping the
bad guys out.
Customers, partners, suppliers and employees need access to information, assets, systems and resources in order to facilitate business relationships, improve productivity and enhance customer satisfaction. As companies implement unified communications and provide around-the-clock availability for their business processes, applications and networks, IBM can meet the call to provide tightly integrated security solutions to protect their infrastructures from security vulnerabilities, risks and threats – both internal and external – 24x7.
IBM Security Solutions
Where security is concerned, experience counts. IBM Internet Security Systems has commanded the leading edge of security innovation, inventing cornerstone technologies such as vulnerability assessment and intrusion detection/prevention and has been a security market leader for more than 10 years. This is supported by the numerous accolades received for our security products and services from independent analysts including Gartner, Frost & Sullivan and Forrester Research.
Further, IBM’s security services and products can keep you ahead of threats because they are supported by the intelligence gathered by the renowned IBM X-Force® team. X-Force, established in 1997, is the oldest commercial security research group in the world and maintains the world’s largest security vulnerability database.
With our unmatched expertise in security and networking, we can provide you with tools and procedures for strengthening the security features of your entire networking infrastructure, and with IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS), help you comply with the latest government and industry regulations and standards such as Payment Card Industry (PCI), Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, and GLBP.
“20 percent of users said they’ve altered the security settings
on company-issued devices so that they could access
unauthorized Websites, according to a study conducted by
Insight Express and Cisco Systems”
Tim Wilson, Dark Reading
“New research from the IT Policy
Compliance Group (IT PCG) shows
that more than 68% of companies
are under-spending on information
security relative to the financial risk”
Taking the stress out of security
ISS has helped set the standard for accountability, reliability and protection in Managed Security Services since 1995. With eight Security Operations Centres around the world, leveraging over 200 dedicated MSS employees to monitor or manage your security infrastructure, you can maintain your focus on running your business. Daily threat assessments, attack trend reports, security news and bulletins are all easily available via a user-friendly portal interface, enabling you access to the very latest security research and intelligence gathered by the X-Force.And because threats can spring up outside office hours, our managed security centre is staffed by experienced security professionals, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Let IBM take the worry out of your network security.
A converged network needs converged security
With today’s networks providing so much more than simply data transfer, securing your network should be front of mind. Whether it’s IP telephony, unified messaging and voicemail, rich-media conferencing, customer contact centre offerings, voice gateways and applications, enterprise mobility and wireless solutions, radio over IP, campus LAN, network virtualisation, optical networking or data centre strategy or optimisation services; IBM can provide an integrated and secure solution that can make a real difference to protecting your valuable intellectual property and assets, and sustaining your business operations.
