BENGALURU<\/a>: IBM has launched what it says is a state-of-art cyber security command centre in Bengaluru to offer customized security solutions to its Indian clients.The company says it planned this long before the extra push for digital in India came from demonetization. But the current environment makes the move look particularly relevant. Concerns about security are becoming top-of-mind for many involved as the Modi government aggressively pushes digital payments.\n
Sandeep Sinha Roy<\/a>, head of security services in IBM India, indicated that those concerns are not misplaced. “We deal with an average of 140 million incidents in India a month,” he said. Incidents can involve inadvertent or malicious acts by internal employees of companies, or external threats.
\n
The new centre can offer tailor-made solutions for clients, provide alerts and advisories based on global events, 24x7 emergency response services for security breaches, and services to manage the security of devices being used by employees. It can ensure that data resides within the country and never leaves, a compliance requirement that some enterprises in India need to follow. IBM will bring the power of its Watson<\/a> cognitive computing system also to the space, enabling it to provide a whole new level of analytics and instant response.
\n
Mathew Newfield, director of managed security services in IBM, said Watson is being beta tested with 40 global clients. “We’ll start training Watson in the Indian environment shortly,” he said. Systems like Aadhaar<\/a> and UPI (unified payment interface) make the Indian environment different from others.
\n
\nNewfield said Watson can do in seconds what a security engineer will take hours to do. “If there are 100,000 devices in an organization’s infrastructure, Watson can look at all the ongoing, real-time threats, and instantaneously understand which of those devices are susceptible to the attacks. If there’s a big security event globally, Watson can figure out quickly which clients in India have a profile that make them susceptible,” he said.
\n
Roy said the financial sector in India, especially banks, has been very serious about security, and has become more so with the recent push towards digital. “These (digital security solutions) are the guards of the future, not the security guard at the bank branch,” he said. He declined to name the banks because of non-disclosure agreements, but said 18 customers, including Dewan Housing Finance<\/a> and Aditya Birla Nuvo, are being serviced by the new centre.
\n
\nIn November, IBM Security announced a major expansion of its incident response capabilities, including new facilities, services and software as part of a $200 million investment made this year. Apart from local centres like the new one in India, IBM also has ten global security service centres, including one in Bengaluru, that have recently been rebranded as X-Force Command Centres. These centres work as a single entity to service clients globally.
\n
Earlier this year, rival Accenture<\/a> launched a global flagship “Cyber Fusion Centre” in Bengaluru that leverages the company’s inter-disciplinary capabilities and combines everything related to cyber security – from strategy, innovation and consulting to implementation and trouble-shooting incidents – under one roof.

班加罗尔:IBM推出了它所说的是一个先进的网络安全指挥中心在班加罗尔印度客户提供定制的安全解决方案。该公司表示,它计划之前额外的推动数字在印度来自禁止流通。但当前环境让此举看起来特别相关。担心安全越来越重要对许多涉及莫迪政府积极推动数字支付。Sandeep Sinha罗伊IBM印度安全部门的负责人表示,这些担心不是没有道理的。“我们处理平均1.4亿事件在印度一个月,”他说。事件可以由内部员工涉及无意或恶意行为的公司,或外部威胁。
新中心可以为客户提供定制的解决方案,提供警报和警告基于全球事件,安全漏洞的24 x7应急服务,管理和服务的安全设备被员工。它可以确保数据驻留在这个国家,从来没有叶子,合规要求,一些企业在印度需要遵循。IBM将它的力量沃森认知计算系统的空间,使其能够提供一个全新的水平分析和即时响应。
马修Newfield, IBM托管安全服务主任说,沃森正在beta测试40全球客户。“我们很快就会开始训练沃森在印度环境,”他说。系统,如Aadhaar和UPI(统一的支付接口)使印度环境与别人不同。
Newfield说沃森可以在几秒钟内安全工程师将花费几个小时的时间做什么。“如果有100000台设备在一个组织的基础设施,沃森可以查看所有正在进行的,实时的威胁,和瞬间理解哪些设备易受攻击。如果有一个大的安全事件在全球范围内,沃森可以迅速找出哪些客户在印度有一个概要文件,使他们容易,”他说。
罗伊说印度的金融行业,特别是银行,已经非常严重的安全,已成为最近推动数字。“这些(数字安全解决方案)是未来的保安,保安在银行分支,”他说。他拒绝透露银行,因为保密协议,但是他说18个客户,其中包括政府高级官员住房金融和Aditya Birla,被新的服务中心。
去年11月,IBM宣布安全大举扩张其事件反应功能,包括新设备、服务和软件的一部分,今年2亿美元的投资。除了当地的中心在印度像新的,IBM也有十个全球安全服务中心,包括一个在班加罗尔,最近被改名为X-Force指挥中心。这些中心工作作为一个单一的实体服务全球客户。
今年早些时候,对手埃森哲咨询公司发起了一项全球旗舰“网络融合中心”在班加罗尔,利用公司的复合型能力和结合与网络安全相关的一切——从战略、创新和咨询实施和故障事件——一个屋檐下。
