Industry Experts Recognize IBM Security

IBM Security in Asia Pacific was awarded in the following two categories for 2017:

Asia-Pacific Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems

This award is based on business performance, technology innovation and offerings, and establishment and achievements in Asia-Pacific. IBM Security was cited for continuing its efforts to introduce added capabilities to its holistic offerings.

The native integration between IBM QRadar XGS with IBM cloud-based sandbox, IBM QRadar SIEM and IBM X-Force Exchange — together with its strong business establishment in every key country in Asia-Pacific, including the emerging Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) — has offered increased value to customers. IBM Security has secured its leadership position in this space through its continuous innovation of IBM Security Network Protection Manager (NPM) as a central web-based console to manage IBM QRadar XGS appliances.

Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Analytics Platform

IBM Security has excelled in delivering a platform with extensive capabilities in cybersecurity analytics. It has been able to provide security solutions with notable wins across multiple verticals as well as innovation to bring extended capabilities, such as user behavior analytics, into the fold.

IBM has continuously expanded its capabilities in developing the cognitive security operations center (SOC) through rapid integration of QRadar with Watson, which helps customers achieve an automated and secure IT infrastructure.
