P&G Thwarts Cyber-Security Threats
The Procter and Gamble Company (P&G) selects products and services from IBM's Internet Security Systems (ISS) division to expand its global cyber-security initiative. The agreement will strengthen P&G's threat protection arsenal by streamlining the management of its layered security tools and ultimately can help deliver substantial savings in administrative costs.
"By teaming with IBM ISS our objective is to both strengthen our security systems and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our security operations," says Willie Alvarado, P&G's enterprise infrastructure services director. "Working with IBM we believe we can deliver substantial cost savings and offer the business a security solution that is both strong and sustainable."
This simplified security approach will help to streamline the management and help increase the efficiency of P&G's cyber-security project. First developed in 2005, P&G pioneered a layered, preventative network protection and vulnerability assessment project to mitigate and eliminate major costly internal vulnerabilities. Because the threat landscape has drastically evolved since the project was developed to become more sophisticated and profit-driven, P&G will look to IBM to enhance its security tools and provide on-going management of its security infrastructure with IBM ISS managed security services.
