IBM has rolled out a broad set of security software to help holistically secure data and identities to reduce the biggest security inhibitors that organizations face in implementing cloud, mobile and big data initiatives.
This is the biggest announcement since the launch of IBM’s new Security Systems division earlier this year, The Big Blue is unveiling ten new products and enhancements to help organizations deliver real time security for big data, mobile and cloud computing.
IBM’s new software capabilities help clients better maintain security control over mobile devices, mitigate internal and external threats, reduce security risks in cloud environments, expand database security to gain real-time insights into big data environments such as Hadoop, and automate compliance and data security management.
“A major shift is taking place in how organizations protect data,” said Brendan Hannigan, General Manager, IBM Security Systems. “Today, data resides everywhere-mobile devices, in the cloud, on social media platforms. This is creating massive amounts of data, forcing organizations to move beyond a traditional siloed perimeter to a multi-perimeter approach in which security intelligence is applied closer to the target.”
Along with IBM Security Services and IBM’s world-class research capabilities, this set of scalable capabilities supports a holistic, proactive approach to security threats spanning people, data, applications and infrastructure.
