| Stay Ahead of Security Threats with Tivoli security solutions |
|
|
Whoever said "it's never too late" never had to deal with security. Every enterprise application under development requires a security plan. But unless security is built in early on, the application may be vulnerable to attack, and retooling for security can be a difficult and painful process.
Traditionally, IT security management has been almost exclusively a concern of the IT security department. But today, we are in a different era:
• Compliance and audit requirements, especially those related to establishing and affecting internal controls over the use and update of sensitive data, must be met to protect the reputation and profits of the business.
• Business growth often depends on delivering new and enhanced services to customers, based on establishing trusted relationships across business lines and with partners.
• Efficient access to increasingly complex business services and protected data is vital to the productivity of IT users throughout your enterprise.
While IT organizations will continue to have primary responsibility for security, business leaders should make sure their security investments align closely with business goals. |

| 2. Go head-to-head against threats and fraud with a comprehensive security management solution. |
|
|
Threats and fraudulent activities are a constant nemesis for businesses today. Whether they come internally (from a disgruntled or dishonest employee) or externally (from someone attempting to fake an identity), security breaches can wreak havoc. As the number of threats and vulnerabilities rise, sophistication levels grow. Basic measures to keep viruses out of IT systems, prevent sabotage and determine if customers are legitimate are no longer enough.
Today, businesses face higher-level threats to operations, reputation and financial health. These arise from a complex, ever-evolving security landscape; stringent audit and compliance requirements; heterogeneous IT environments; and business partners' and customers' demands for secure access to back-end applications.
To succeed, your organization must swiftly and effectively respond to any security breach that occurs. And, ideally, prevent these activities in the first place—before they cripple operations or create negative press. For ultimate success, you should link the solutions you use to defend your business with those that allow access to your IT environment.
IBM Tivoli® security management solutions offer a proven, comprehensive suite of tools and techniques that integrate intrusion protection with access control. |

| 1. Enhance enterprise security and compliance for lines of business with flexible solutions from IBM. |
|
|
Enterprise applications such as payroll, procurement and inventory management have become essential to the success of today's lines of business. At the same time, companies are increasing their exposure to threat and fraud as more end consumers are given direct access to corporate services. Consequently, managers face a number of challenges in providing effective, centralized security and compliance for these applications.
A centralized security and compliance solution cannot be provided by any single enterprise application, and managers worry that a third-party security solution might prove itself to be rigid or difficult to implement. They also know that enterprise IT infrastructures are large, complex and rapidly evolving, making integration sometimes difficult. Finally, managers must meet rigorous compliance requirements even as the portals and access points in their environments and across enterprise applications continue to increase in number.
IBM provides a number of comprehensive solutions for identity management, federated identity management, access management and compliance. With IBM, lines of business have a trusted, deeply experienced partner to help them minimize their risks and maximize their investment in their enterprise applications. |
