Both cloud providers and users should consider a different factors that includes the kind of work a client wants to do in the cloud and the mechanisms and controls used. In order to address those issues, IBM’s cloud security experts work closely with the clients to assess their individual concerns and provide  appropriate services and offerings. This process includes strategy roadmaps and security assessments; actual SaaS offerings, such as hosted security event and log management; and hosted vulnerability management.

“IBM understands the ‘one size fits all’ cloud security strategy will not work for most businesses,” said Steve Robinson, general manager, IBM Security Solutions. “Our enterprise clients are looking for a trusted adviser to provide the right mix of security consulting services and offerings to match. By offering these new services and innovations, we aim to help clients create tailored solutions that will allow them to get the most out of their cloud environments.”
