AI-driven compliance: The key to cloud security
The growth of cloud computing continues unabated, but it has also created security challenges. The acceleration of cloud adoption has created greater complexity, with limited cloud technical expertise available in the market, an explosion in connected and Internet of Things (IoT) devices and a growing need for multi-cloud environments. When clients migrate to the cloud, there is a high likelihood of data security problems given that many applications are not secure by design.
A Utility Knife for Cloud Security Services
Does the world need another acronym? Probably not. But it seems like one is born every day in the cybersecurity market. As a tradeoff for the brain power to recall their cryptic meanings, we should at least expect progress on the technology front. We have seen this before. With all that’s happened in the last decade, point products for network security became next-generation firewall appliances, creating an ease-of-use and centralized management interface.

5 Cloud Security Must-Haves in 2021
Organizations undertaking the move to the cloud face a blizzard of sometimes confusing buzzwords. There’s hybrid cloud, multicloud, digital transformation, microservices and so much more. While these terms can be confusing, the key element to keep in mind is that cloud data security should be an inherent part of business-level strategy and discussion for any successful cloud migration. The importance of addressing key security and compliance needs weighs heavily on many organizations.
IBM Named a Leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Security Services
Once again, we are humbled and honored to be recognized as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Security Services, a title we have held five consecutive times. Last year was another significant and transformational period for IBM Security, especially for our managed security services (MSS) business. In 2017, we were all put to the test by unprecedented breaches, which paralyzed numerous businesses across the globe.
An Eagle Eye Over Network Security: Configuring Log Sources to Maximize SIEM Visibility
Security information and event management (SIEM) deployments are becoming more common each day. Companies around the world are investing big dollars to have the best technology available to contend with the increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks happening daily. There is no denying the power and control an SIEM affords security professionals at any company, but maintaining and tuning this technology is extremely time-consuming.
Security at Your Fingertips: Introducing a New App for Security Professionals
Technology is everywhere. We cannot escape it — but would we really want to? For the most part, technology makes our lives so much easier. Our refrigerators tell us when we’re out of milk, our watches tell us when we need to be more active and our vehicles give us directions. Software on our phones allows us to shop for just about anything, check our heart rate, stay active on news and social media, and even check our kids’ grades.
Collaboration Among Security Vendors Is the Threat Management Solution of the Future
Cyberattackers are getting stronger by the day and collaborating among themselves to come up with new attacks by the minute. They share information about their intended victims, including user IDs, passwords, personal information, social circles and other intelligence. Given the complexity of the average customer security environment, it is more important than ever for security vendors to collaborate to address this challenge.
A Smarter Security Solution to Manage the 360-Degree Threat Lifecycle
Each week, we see new public disclosures about companies impacted by cybersecurity breaches. Sure, it’s easy to say, “How could this have happened?” or, “They weren’t trying hard enough!” But the reality is that most companies are just flat-out overwhelmed. Below are a few reasons why. Designed by clients for clients, IBM X-Force Threat Management offers a smarter security solution to manage the 360-degree life cycle.
Breaking Down the Security Immune System: Proactive Database Protection Through SIEM Integration
Protecting data requires strong integration of security controls. For example, a database firewall that analyzes data activity on a monitored system does not typically provide insight into what is going on in the rest of the infrastructure. The firewall simply governs who can access the database and from where data can be extracted based on a set of defined policies. Organizations commonly employ this method to protect the enterprise’s crown jewels.
Relieving Alert Fatigue With Personally Tailored Threat Intelligence
Most organizations that take IT security seriously have already invested in security controls. They have a security operations center (SOC) monitoring their day-to-day operations to identify abnormal behavior that might indicate a security breach. But while it’s essential to look for suspicious behavior, this will always result in an organization being on its back foot when an attack occurs. By its very nature, behavioral analysis is a reactive operation.
