IBM has entered the Internet security market, and has launched a new platform to help companies and organizations fight cyber attacks, according a recent report from the Reuters.
IBM’s QRadar Security Intelligence Platform, according to the company, would help it analyze real-time data feeds from more than 400 different sources. This new platform combines known threats and hackers’ methods with real-time analysis of the traffic on the corporate IT infrastructure.
“Trying to approach security with a piece-part approach simply doesn’t work. IBM is betting that a broadbased approach will appeal to companies and organizations looking to prevent threats before they happen. These attacks don’t come out of the blue. No one walks into a bank and walks out with the crown jewels in one fell swoop.They will spend a enormous amount of time and put in place the mechanisms to get the info they want and obviously they try to hide their trail and not set off security events,” said Brendan Hannigan, general manager at IBM Security Systems.
QRadar Security Intelligence Platform would help organizations that are struggling to defend themselves against the theft of customer and employee information, credit card data and corporate intellectual property.
According to the FBI Director Robert Mueller, cyber attacks against government agencies and businesses would surpass terrorism as a danger to the United States. The information security market is expected to grow to $71 billion by 2015 from $55 billion last year.
