Cisco and IBM Security will work together to address the growing global threat of cybercrime.<\/p>\n
In a new agreement, Cisco and IBM Security will work closely together across products, services and threat intelligence for the benefit of customers.<\/p>\n
Cisco security solutions will integrate with IBM\u2019s QRadar to protect companies across networks, endpoints and cloud.<\/p>\n
Customers will also benefit from the scale of IBM Global Services support of Cisco products in their Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offerings.<\/p>\n
The agreement also establishes a new relationship between the IBM X-Force and Cisco Talos security research teams who will begin collaborating on threat intelligence research and coordinating on major cybersecurity incidents.<\/p>\n
A core issue impacting security teams is the proliferation of security tools that do not communicate or integrate. A recent Cisco survey of 3,000 chief security officers found that 65% of their organisations use between six and 50 different security products.<\/p>\n
The Cisco and IBM Security partnership will focus on helping companies reduce the time required to detect and mitigate threats.<\/p>\n
