HCL Technologies and IBM collaborate to modernize security operations

IBM Security today announced that it has collaborated with (HCL) to help unify and streamline threat management for clients via a modernized security operation center (SOC) platform. HCL’s Cybersecurity Fusion Centers will work using IBM’s Cloud Pak for Security to help create a unified security platform to connect security teams, tools and processes across the threat lifecycle. This collaboration builds on HCL and IBM’s recent alliance expansion to help organizations with digital transformation.

HCL’s Cybersecurity Fusion Centers deliver threat management services to clients around the world through six global security operations and response facilities. IBM’s Cloud Pak for Security will serve as the foundation to connect security tools, data and workflows with HCL customers. Cloud Pak for Security is an open, containerized software platform which allows companies to integrate a wide range of security data, tools and clouds for deeper insights into threats across hybrid cloud environments.
