You can’t fix what you can’t see
Incident response is the No. 1 factor to reduce the cost of a data breach
Despite existing tools, breaches continue to rise Lack
of visibility and control contributes to security breaches and financial loss

Siloed IT Operations and Security Teams
IT OPERATIONS
• Apply patches and fixes
• Implement security and operational policy
• Manual process takes weeks / months
IT SECURITY
• Scan for compliance status
• Create security policies
• Identify vulnerabilities
Disparate tools, manual processes, lack of integration and narrow visibility

Architecture Complexity Resources
 Heavy, resource-intensive
agent(s)
 Multiple products,
multiple agents
 Not Internet-friendly
Why other approaches fail
 Too much admin
and infrastructure
 Little pre-built content
 Each task detracts from
higher value projects
 Slow, scan-based
architectures
 Limited coverage
 Not cost-effective at scale

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper access from within and outside
your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks
on others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access.
IBM systems, products and services are designed to be part of a lawful, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other
systems, products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE IMMUNE FROM, OR WILL MAKE YOUR ENTERPRISE
IMMUNE FROM, THE MALICIOUS OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY PARTY.

What our clients are saying
“…we can now better defend against
internal and external threats. We can
see who is doing what… And with the new
intelligence, we’ve applied new settings
that significantly strengthen our
security posture and reduce the
number of potential security incidents.”
- Infirmary Health
“…we will be able to guarantee that
all of our endpoints are patched
appropriately, and we will be able to
provide solid proof that we have a fully
documented regular patch process
in place… moving us closer to full PCI
DSS compliance.”
- The Co-Operative Food
“IBM Endpoint Manager is easy to
use, which helps us keep operational
costs low and makes the integration
of services much easier.”
- Orange Business Services
“Now that we know what we’ve
deployed and where, we’re better
positioned to find any unpatched
holes in our systems and keep our
corporate data protected.” - Allstate
