Traditional security defenses are no match for today’s relentless well-funded attackers, while disruptive technologies, like Cloud and the Internet of Things, introduce new vulnerabilities to exploit.

IBM Security, with 8,000 professionals in 133 countries, delivers an intelligent immune system of security technology to detect and prevent threats and respond quickly and completely to breaches.

During the past decade, IBM has invested more than $2 billion on security research and development, resulting in 3,700+ security-related patents, and acquired 20 security companies to build out its portfolio. Today, IBM Security addresses the evolving security landscape with AI innovation in the cloud and intelligent orchestration to meet 17,000 clients’ most critical needs:

Security Transformation: Security skills are more difficult to obtain and retain than ever. Still, today’s C-suite needs strategies that provide protection for the immediate and long term. IBM helps organizations with everything from modernizing security operations, to building strategies that accelerate Cloud, Mobile and IoT, to running their entire security program.

Security Operations and Response: Advanced analytics and AI technology from IBM help clients prevent targeted attacks, detect unknown threats, and quickly respond to incidents with an automated, orchestrated platform.

Information Risk and Protection: Rising insider threat and crime, increasing mobile and cloud adoptions, and unchecked applications all contribute to the vulnerability of an organization’s valuable information. IBM offers automated controls that know who is trying to gain access to critical data, and what normal behavior is before granting that user access.
