(the software development tools for the iOS and Android mobile platforms made available by NuraLogix for the purpose of accelerating the integration of a mobile application with the APIs and the DeepAffex SaaS Engine. With the Trusteer acquisition, IBM fills in a few product gaps and continues to demonstrate its intentions to compete in all aspects of enterprise security. This architecture gives IBM the opportunity to integrate Trusteer security technology with existing products, layer in other acquisitions, or work on common solutions with 3rd party partners. Look for IBM to also get the most out of the Trusteer Cybercrime Prevention Architecture, a technology stack that includes device-based protection, middleware services, and cloud-based intelligence. Given the global shortage of security talent this is a very shrewd move giving IBM access to elite talent coming out of the IDF and the Unit 8200 Israeli Intelligence Corp. IBM plans to establish a presence in Israel for cybersecurity research and development. IBM will likely fold the Trusteer mobile risk engine, SDK, and secure browser, and out-of-band mobile authentication into its mobile enterprise security mix.ĥ. Rather than develop its own MDM, IBM is pitching mobile security as part of a bigger play that includes secure application development processes, application security testing, endpoint device management, identity and access management, and network security. IBM can spread these capabilities across existing resources like its xForce security research, QRadar SIEM, and various managed security services options.Ĥ. Trusteer solutions are anchored by research, intelligence, and cloud-based protection. ISS) to form a comprehensive network/endpoint anti-malware architecture.ģ. Look for IBM to integrate Trusteer anti-malware capabilities with its network-based solutions (i.e. IBM certainly has the resources to make this happen soon. Trusteer endpoint security technology is sound but it was not big enough to push into the enterprise market to compete with Bromium, Invincea, Malwarebytes, or Sourcefire. The Trusteer acquisition gives IBM a new type of anti-malware solution that can act as an additional layer of endpoint security and can be deployed on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices. In spite of its aggressive push into security over the past few years, IBM’s participation in endpoint security has been limited to management (i.e. This is important since financial services firms tend to be aggressive spenders when it comes to information security.Ģ. IBM will certainly use this new stature to position QRadar against ArcSight and establish a leadership position big data security analytics.
