IBM Remains a Gorilla in the Security Services Jungle

HfS Research views IBM’s Security Services group as offering a heft, breadth and depth of capability, reputation, and global footprint that few of its competitors in the professional services and managed security services space can approach. IBM’s broad array of professional services include security consulting and design and deployment services, and managed security services in the form of traditional managed-CPE services ,as well as new managed security services using a cloud-based SaaS delivery model. Should IBM be on enterprise buyers’ short list of providers of such services?
