Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of IBM Security QRadar as a paid listing on the AWS marketplace  along with broader technology initiatives as part of the annual AWS re:Invent conference. This is a significant milestone as we see more clients migrating their workloads to the cloud. By 2023, Gartner predicts that 90% of SIEM capabilities will be delivered only through the cloud.

What we’re hearing from our clients

Organizations are accelerating their move to cloud to drive business innovation and customer success. At the same time, cloud poses new cybersecurity challenges as the number and types of security threats continue to grow. We’ve heard some common security concerns as our clients drive more of their workloads to the cloud.

  • An expanding footprint requires a unified security posture: As the footprint expands across cloud and on-premises, having multiple security tools creates a disjointed security posture, making it difficult to establish a unified approach.
  • You can’t protect what you can’t see: Meeting regulatory and compliance requirements is difficult without proper visibility across the hybrid landscape, and the process in cloud is fundamentally different from that of on-premise.
  • Cybersecurity and mitigation strategies need refining: Threat detection and response in hybrid environments requires prioritizing threats across networks, users, endpoints and cloud resources.

What we’re delivering

IBM Security is helping clients securely migrate and modernize to AWS Cloud by offering a unique combination of security technology products and services that embrace AWS native services.
