IBM launches Cybersecurity initiative

The initiative will help government and other key clients improve the security and resiliency of their IT and business systems

New York: IBM has announced a company-wide cybersecurity initiative to apply its research, services, software and technology expertise to help government and other key clients improve the security and resiliency of their IT and business systems.

Under this initiative, the company is establishing the IBM Institute for Advanced Security to help government and private sector clients, academics and business partners more easily understand, address and mitigate the issues associated with securing cyberspace.

Based in Washington DC, the institute will provide a collaborative setting for public and private sector officials to tap IBM's vast security expertise so they can more efficiently and effectively secure and protect critical systems and information threatened by increasingly malicious and costly cyber threats.
 
IBM's initiative will enable others to embrace a strategic approach to managing cybersecurity, building on the security rich systems and software that have earned the trust of IBM clients around the world for decades.  

IBM, which holds more than 3,000 security and risk management patents and maintains one of the world's largest comprehensive threats and vulnerabilities databases, will use the IBM Institute for Advanced Security to apply the capabilities and experience of its more than 15,000 multidisciplinary global security experts to a broad range of cybersecurity and privacy challenges.
