SAN CARLOS, CA & ARMONK, NY – 25 Feb 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — Check Point® Software Technologies and IBM (NYSE: IBM) Security today announced an expanded alliance, including the sharing of threat intelligence, as the security industry moves to a more collaborative approach to defend against cybercrime. Also, the companies announced a broad set of product integrations as well as expanded investment across IBM’s consulting and managed security services.
Cybercrime has quickly grown into a significant threat to business, and is now one of the world’s largest illegal economies, accounting for $445 billion in annual profits according to the United Nations. To address this complex and aggressive attack environment, the expanded relationship between Check Point and IBM Security is designed to provide today’s enterprise with a new level of confidence in not only detecting security risks – but also empowering customers with tools to prevent these attacks before they happen.
The new alliance includes four main areas of collaboration:
“Today’s business environment is more connected and more innovative than ever before, requiring equally innovative ways to help customers keep a step ahead of possible threats,” said Avi Rembaum, vice president of security solutions, Check Point. “Both Check Point and IBM Security take a prevent-first approach to security. Through intelligence sharing and technology integration we aim to help improve our customers’ security programs and create a new model for industry cooperation.”
“The sharing of intelligence and expertise is how the security industry will take our defensive capabilities to the next level,” said Caleb Barlow, vice president of strategy, IBM Security. “Cybercriminals are not new to this concept of sharing and our industry needs to step up to the challenge. Having a partner the quality of Check Point validate this approach is a big win for our joint customers.”
