Designed to accelerate your business
More than half of security technology purchases are influenced by MSSPs, led by a widening skills gap and triggered by more advanced attacks, tougher compliance requirements and a need to innovate quickly. In a complex environment, more MSPs are partnering to take advantage of that opportunity.
With an expanded MSSP program, IBM® Security gives you access to our distribution and channel ecosystem, and a services engagement to accelerate your offerings based on IBM technology.
“ IBM’s continued investments gave us tremendous confidence. With the addition of incident forensics, vulnerability management and risk management capabilities along with the ability to integrate feeds from other security products, we can give each client the visibility they need very efficiently. ”
— Christophe Bianco, Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer, Excellium Services
