IBM to expand security portfolio with plans to acquire ReaQta
BM has announced an expansion of its
I cybersecurity threat detection and response capabilities with its plans to acquire ReaQta . ReaQta ’ s endpoint security solutions are designed to leverage AI to automatically identify and manage threats , while remaining undetectable to adversaries . This move will expand IBM ’ s capabilities in the Extended Detection and Response ( XDR ) market , aligning with IBM ’ s strategy to deliver security with an open approach that extends across disparate tools , data and hybrid cloud environments .
Upon closing , ReaQta ’ s offerings will become part of this portfolio , adding expanded native XDR capabilities to IBM ’ s security portfolio aimed at helping clients adopt continuous monitoring and rapid response as part of a Zero Trust approach .
Mary O ’ Brien , General Manager , IBM Security , said : “ With our expanded capabilities via QRadar XDR and the planned addition of ReaQta , IBM is helping clients get ahead of attackers with the first XDR solution that reduces vendor lockin via the use of open standards .”
IBM also detailed a new suite of XDR offerings under the QRadar brand . IBM QRadar XDR helps security analysts break down the silos between the proliferation of point products in the industry – providing comprehensive visibility across security tools and data sources , whether in the cloud or onpremises and equipping security teams with the insights and automation they need to act quickly .
Palo Alto Networks and Siemens partner to protect critical infrastructure
alo Alto Networks has
P announced the extension of its technology partnership with Siemens to improve the security of mission-critical networks and prevent the threat of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure . The companies will integrate Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewalls and Siemens Ruggedcom Multi-Service Platforms to enable continuous scalable hardware that will allow customers to extend consistent security policy and visibility across IT , critical OT and industrial control systems ( ICS ) infrastructure .
Anand Oswal , Senior Vice President of Network Security for Palo Alto Networks , said : “ By bringing together our Next-Generation Firewall technology with Siemens ’ experience in industrial control systems and unique environments , companies can protect their industrial control systems and other key infrastructure without compromising security , performance , or the ability to scale .”
Palo Alto Networks VM-Series virtual firewalls offer best-in-class security and can be seamlessly deployed in any virtual or cloud environment and are highly scalable .
VM-Series virtual firewalls secure all traffic , including encrypted traffic based on the complete context that includes user identity , application identity and device identity and stop modern cyberthreats , using natively integrated security services .
Centralised management makes it easy to extend protection and security to industrial systems wherever Siemens Ruggedcom RX1500 Multi-Service Platform is deployed .
