Managed security services

Find security services to safeguard your e-business.

Managed firewall
An effectively installed and managed firewall can play a crucial role in data security. IBM offers the managed firewall service through two different approaches to satisfy different business and financial requirements. With our traditional dedicated firewall service, experienced IBM professionals install, configure, test, monitor and manage your dedicated devices (either IBM- or customer-owned) in your hosting environment, helping you achieve the highest level of protection around the clock for your Internet applications. Our e-business on demand^TM service provides the same firewall protection and customization capabilities as the traditional dedicated firewall service, without the traditional infrastructure. Firewall services are provided by a virtual service architecture capable of dispensing abundant, dedicated firewall capacity on demand to any number of customers. You pay only for the committed bandwidth you use to access the service, and the service can be deployed or expanded in a matter of days.

Internet access firewall
Designed for customers with entry-level firewall requirements, Internet access firewall provides state-of-the-art security management and firewall technology for your Internet-facing applications -- at a very affordable price.

Virus alert
Virus alert services are designed to provide a one-stop source for the information and support you need to respond quickly to malicious code threats, freeing you from the time-consuming task of combing through journals and news sources to uncover virus-related information.

Network intrusion detection
Network intrusion detection helps guard your Web site against attacks with around-the-clock monitoring of all the TCP/IP traffic within your IBM e-business Hosting Center environment and notifying you in the event of an imminent threat. Services include installing and managing the intrusion sensor, logging and analyzing events and recommending security enhancements.

Host intrusion detection
Recognizing server intrusion attempts that originate either from within or outside of your organization — and correcting them before systems are compromised — can help you achieve higher levels of system protection and availability. Host intrusion detection provides detailed and relevant information regarding security attacks against Web servers housed in an IBM e-business Hosting Center — including what the attacker did, what commands were run, what files were opened and what system calls were executed.

Incident management
Incident management is designed to help manage security incidents related to your e-business hosting environments in one of the IBM e-business Hosting Centers^TM. From incident discovery to timely closure, our professional consultants can provide the experience, knowledge and security incident methodology needed to effectively protect your valuable e-business resources.

The popularity of the Internet is driving companies to focus on security and privacy. We can monitor and respond to threats as they occur. Contact us today for more information.
