In a significant stride towards fortifying cybersecurity defenses, IBM has unveiled its state-of-the-art Threat Detection and Response Services (TDR). This next-generation managed detection and response service leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to automate the assessment and resolution of up to 85% of security alerts. This breakthrough promises to revolutionize customer security response times, providing a robust shield against evolving cyber threats.
TDR Services is engineered to monitor, investigate, and automate security alerts across hybrid cloud environments, seamlessly integrating with existing security tools and investments. Global security analysts at IBM Consulting are in charge of running this managed service. It uses a sophisticated security services platform that is enhanced with AI and contextual threat intelligence gathered from IBM's large global security network. This powerful combination empowers the platform to swiftly identify critical threats while minimizing noise.
"Security teams today face an overwhelming volume of alerts and vulnerabilities," notes Chris McCurdy, General Manager, Worldwide IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services. He emphasizes how the amalgamation of advanced analytics, real-time threat intelligence, and human expertise in IBM's TDR Services presents organizations with a scalable, continuously evolving defense against tomorrow's threats.
The services introduce several game-changing features:
Improved Notifications and Crowdsourced Detection Rules: AI-powered solutions are always improving and suggesting the best detection rules based on real-world data. This cuts down on low-priority alerts by 45% and raises the priority of more important alerts by 79%.
MITRE ATT&CK Assessment: By comparing tactics, techniques, and processes against industry peers, firms can enhance their readiness against ransomware and wipe-out assaults.
Seamless Integration: An open API ensures swift interaction with a client's security assets, both on-premise and in the cloud. The co-managed portal facilitates collaboration and playbook development, offering a unified view for precise remediation and enforcement of security regulations.
24/7 Global Assistance: Over 6,000 IBM Cybersecurity Services professionals are available around the clock to bolster security strategies, managing an astounding 2 million endpoints and 150 billion security events daily.
IBM's TDR Services give you access to X-Force Incident Response Services, and you can add services like penetration testing, adversary simulation, and vulnerability management to your security operations if you want to. Insights from IBM's sizable client base serve as the foundation for this comprehensive approach, which aims to improve security operations capability.
As Craig Robinson, IDC Research VP of Security Services, points out, IBM's TDR Services offer a strategic off-ramp for organizations struggling with employee shortages, growing threats, and budget constraints. By augmenting existing security investments without necessitating a complete overhaul, IBM provides a proactive and cost-effective solution to bolster cybersecurity.
In an era where cyber threats continue to evolve, IBM's TDR Services stand at the forefront, embodying a formidable fusion of human expertise and cutting-edge AI technologies. As security landscapes become increasingly complex, this innovation represents a critical step towards safeguarding organizations against the ever-changing threat landscape.
