IBM launches cyber security centre for India

BENGALURU: IBM has launched what it says is a state-of-art cyber security command centre in Bengaluru to offer customized security solutions to its Indian clients.The company says it planned this long before the extra push for digital in India came from demonetization. But the current environment makes the move look particularly relevant. Concerns about security are becoming top-of-mind for many involved as the Modi government aggressively pushes digital payments.
Sandeep Sinha Roy, head of security services in IBM India, indicated that those concerns are not misplaced. "We deal with an average of 140 million incidents in India a month," he said. Incidents can involve inadvertent or malicious acts by internal employees of companies, or external threats.
