IBM has officially opened a new global security operations centre in Bangalore designed to provide clients with around-the-clock protection and services. This state-of-the-art facility is equipped with managed security services professionals and members of the X-Force security research and development team to provide real-time analysis and early warning notification of security events to more than 4,000 managed security services clients worldwide.
The security operations centres are designed to ensure that mission-critical systems, electrical systems, data processing and communication links are protected from any single point of failure. This new centre will leverage the IBM X-Force Protection System back end managed security services infrastructure to assist analysts with the aggregation, correlation, analysis and prioritization of security logs and events.
"As the global threat landscape is constantly changing, clients realize that a new Internet attack can create a life-or-death business situation," said Neeraj Sharma, Director - Integrated Technology Services, IBM India/South Asia. "In addition, ongoing management of security threats from attacks or for compliance can be a costly proposition in today's economy."
