ARMONK, N.Y., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today IBM
(NYSE:IBM) Security announced it has collaborated with HCL
Technologies (HCL) to help unify and streamline threat management
for clients via a modernized security operation center (SOC)
platform. HCL's Cybersecurity Fusion Centers will be designed to
take advantage of IBM's Cloud Pak for Security, to help create a
unified security platform to connect security teams, tools and
processes across the threat lifecycle. This collaboration builds on
HCL and IBM's recent alliance expansion to help organizations with
digital transformation.
HCL's Cybersecurity Fusion Centers deliver threat management
services to clients around the world through six global
state-of-the-art security operations and response facilities. IBM's
Cloud Pak for Security will serve as the foundation to connect
security tools, data and workflows with HCL customers. Cloud Pak
for Security is an open, containerized software platform which
allows companies to quickly integrate a wide range of security
data, tools and clouds for deeper insights into threats across
hybrid cloud environments.
"Enterprises operating in today's fast-moving digital world need
a cybersecurity strategy capable of tackling increasingly
sophisticated threats. Collaboration is key in the cybersecurity
industry to build and implement the solutions to stay one step
ahead. This collaboration enables us to enhance the service that we
provide to our clients and to combine the threat detection and
response technologies with the development of technological
processes and the experience of our professionals across all areas
of cybersecurity," said Maninder
Singh, Corporate Vice President, Cyber Security Services at
HCL Technologies.
"Many companies today are struggling with the complexity of
security operations amidst cloud adoption and fragmented IT
infrastructure, which can hamper their ability to discover and
respond to threats," said Justin
Youngblood, Vice President, IBM Security. "Modern security
demands an open platform that leverages AI and automation to help
security operations teams connect disparate tools, provide insights
and orchestrate response across hybrid cloud environments. With
this collaboration, HCL and IBM are modernizing security operations
and helping clients accelerate their security
outcomes."
HCL is part of IBM's Hybrid Cloud Ecosystem, an initiative to
support partners of all types -- whether they build on, service or
resell IBM technologies and platforms -- to help clients manage and
modernize workloads with Red Hat OpenShift for any cloud
environment, including the IBM public cloud. Red Hat OpenShift is
