Introduction
Cyber security is must for maximum organization in this technological era. IBM security
is part of IBM for providing security services. IBM is using Cognitive-computing approaches for
cyber security. Cyber security is the most popular thing in the world in present era. It is highly
required for the organization, which are using information technology in their operations and
services. This report will discuss about the different things of the cyber security provided by
IBM security, such as privacy, and data security. It is also include network, website, Email, and
mobile applications security in this report. In next parts of this report, Cyber Security Glossary,
Cyber Security Links will mention in the later section of this report.
Cyber security benefits
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are the best approaches for research and
development I the field of cyber security. IBM is working for securing accounting data of an
organization, as financial data are so confidential for an organization. IBM also provides fraud
analysis from their services. It detects fraud and assure about it from the help of tools. IBM is
also providing payroll system security for different organization. IBM security is a small
company of IBM for providing security from cyber-attacks to an organization. IBM works for
many organizations for their security from cyber-attacks, such as Boeing Airplane Company,
General Electric, and Gulf Oil Corporation. There are more than 600 hundreds clients for cyber
security. IBM works for different sectors for securing their research, products, and services, such
as business, scientific and technical organizations.
General electric is tie-up with the IBM for finding solutions of cyber-attacks. IBM is
providing Procurement for the buying contracts, inventory controls, and security for supply chain
insights. IBM Watson is use for the regulatory compliance. It is a best solution for the risk
analysis. Privacy of data is a main concern in the organization. Many organizations are having so
many Data of their customers as well as employees. So it should secure and safe at their end,
Because of cyber-attacks that information may be leak from their server, such as data breaches.
There are so many ways to secure data from these types of attacks, such as Cyber security.
Frauds in the organization are happened because of outside person hack their systems and made

changes in their data. There are so many ransom attack form the online networks, such as Petya
ransomware (Andrijcic & Horowitz, 2016).

IBM is using their supercomputer ‘Watson’ for providing security essentials to their
clients. Network Security is also necessary for an organization, as every person have
authentication to entry in the system, but there are few loopholes in the systems, which are
helping attackers. Website Security is also must in the current environment of business
processes. These are some tools, which are helping for website security, such as LoadComplete.
Emails are the best way to communication from different people within the organization as well
as outside of organization (Arlitsch & Edelman, 2014).
IBM is providing security for the different devices. Mobile Devices are mostly uses for
the accessing systems. So they are also requires security. There are so many personal data on the
mobile, so they also required security from attackers. Employees are assets of an organization.
There person data and different activities in the organization are also requires security form the
cyber security (Barkly, 2018). Cyber security is a most common thing in present situation. There
are many examples in the world in which many loses happened due to less security, cyber-
attacks was happened. There are huge loss of money and many things for organization because
of cyber-attacks (Bhagat, 2012). Operational Security is also a part of organization security.
Every operation of an organization is based on the strategies of an organization. Therefore, it is
must to secure operations of an organization. There are lot of options for securing innovations of
an organization, such as Patents, copy-writes, and trade- secrets (Cherdantseva, Burnap, Blyth,
Eden, & Jones, 2016).
In present era, the online banking and cards are uses for all the payments. Credit cards
and debit cards are mostly uses by the person for the fund transfer. Therefore, it is also a
necessary thing to secure information about the payment cards (Gordon & Loeb, 2006). IBM is
providing quick response on the different cyber security incidents. Incident Response and
Reporting is also required to found out the attackers. Policy Development is a procedure to
prevent from those cyber-attacks. Although, so many rules and regulations are created for the
avoidance and prevention of cyber-attacks, still it is going on in a huge quality. Every person
should follow ethical and legal framework (Lipton, 2005). Cyber Security Links are available for
response about the incident, such as www.us-cert.gov. There so many organizations are
providing cyber security, but government of US is also taking actions on the incidents quickly
(Von Solms & Van Niekerk, 2013).

Conclusion
It is concluded from the last parts of this report that, cyber security is must for all the
organizations, which are using information technologies for their operations and services. IBM is
providing complete solutions for an enterprise department of an organization. It is also
concluded that privacy of data is compulsory for all the organization as well as every employees
of an organization.
Finally, it is concluded that government is helping for these things and there are few
policies added in the laws for securing systems and infrastructures of an organization. IBM
follows all the rule and regulations according to guidelines of government for providing security
to a Client.
