breach in terms of cost to business

Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

A Hyper-Connected Business WorldIn today’s hyper-connected business world, a fundamentally different approach is needed to secure the enterprise. The explosion of digital business information that is accessed from and stored on virtualized cloud and social platforms, instrumen-tation, and mobile devices that are part consumer part business, have created an overwhelmingly complex IT environment— with possible attack points nearly limitless.

The most sophisticated adversaries are now perpetrating Advanced Persistent Threats, using focus and persistence to gain access to sensitive business information. These attacks uti-lize cutting-edge methodologies, can last indefinitely and are specifically targeted. The increased diversity of today’s threats has eroded the effectiveness of traditional IT defenses such as firewalls and antivirus—even bypassing these controls com-pletely in many cases. A new approach is required, one that bal-ances protection with detection, and advanced technology with mature processes.

3IBM Software

Security Intelligence for a New WorldOnly those companies that have deployed solutions to monitor, correlate and analyze the massive amounts of real-time events being generated from a comprehensive, integrated security infrastructure as well as from a well-researched external threat feed have the capability to cost-effectively maintain an extremely strong security posture. IBM calls this security intelligence. In addition to helping detect and remediate breaches that might otherwise have been missed, this approach can enable organizations to:

●● ● Shift from a reactive state to a proactive approach that better aligns with business objectives

●● ● Enable their business to deploy innovation initiatives far faster than otherwise possible

●● ● Automate their compliance activities●● ● Reduce staff requirements for security operations

A Unique, Comprehensive ApproachWith leading products and services across segments and an over-arching strategy based on three main tenets—Intelligence, Integration and Expertise—IBM is helping its customers work toward true security intelligence.

IntelligenceHuman intelligence requires knowledge, information and the ability to analyze this information to reach conclusions. In the realm of enterprise security, this translates to needing visibility into relevant networks and infrastructures and external threat

Moving from a reactive and manual approach to a proactive and automated approach gives the organization an optimized security posture based in security intelligence.
