IBM Announces Cloud-Based Community Platform for Cyber Security Applications>

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ – IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a new cloud-based community platform for cyber security applications. IBM Security Connect is the first security cloud platform built on open federated technologies, with AI at its core, to analyze security data across previously unconnected tools and environments. By integrating security data from IBM Security products with an ecosystem of security vendors, clients, and business partners, IBM Security Connect is designed to help improve efficiency and collaboration as teams defend against cybercrime. IBM Security Connect will enable users to apply machine learning and AI, including Watson for Cyber Security, for analysis to help them identify threats or risks and improve the efficacy and efficiency of threat detection and response. Users can design and deploy new customized and comprehensive solutions to address security outcomes, such as SOC Operations workflows or Digital Trust. IBM Security Connect will become the home of IBM’s current Security App Exchange and all IBM Security applications built on a platform powered by IBM Cloud, but fully compatible with other cloud providers. IBM Security will also champion the creation of new open standards in burgeoning areas such as the sharing of response playbooks and analytics patterns and will actively invest in developing new open source projects that align with these efforts. IBM Security’s commitment to openness also means that many existing open security and protocol standards are leveraged throughout the platform, such as STIX⢠(Structured Threat Information eXpression) and TAXII⢠(Trusted Automated eXchange of Indicator Information). The IBM Security project STIX-Shifter, which is publicly available on GitHub, consists of an open source library which allows software to connect to products that house data repositories using STIX Patterning, and return results as STIX Observations. Using these open standards for connecting to any data source combined with IBM Security’s already powerful security analytics and incident response capabilities helps clients to gain broader visibility and detect threats and risks that were otherwise missed due to disconnected data across complex hybrid environments.
