IBM Opens Multi-Million Dollar Security Operations Center in Bangalore

IBM has established a security operations center in Bangalore, the information technology giant’s ninth such facility in the world.

The Bangalore center will provide managed security services, real-time analysis and early warning notification of security events to its managed security services clients worldwide.

IBM is said to have 4,000 security services clients around the world.

IBM Security Services’ operations centers are designed to ensure that mission-critical systems, electrical systems, data processing and communication links are protected from any single point of failure.

The new security operations center will leverage IBM X-Force Protection System back end managed security services infrastructure to assist analysts with the aggregation, correlation, analysis and prioritization of security logs and events.

IBM currently operates eight other global security operations centers in Atlanta, Georgia; Detroit, Michigan; Boulder, Colorado; Toronto, Canada; Brussels, Belgium; Tokyo, Japan; Brisbane, Australia; and Hortolandia, Brazil.

Multi-Million Dollar Investment
IBM did not provide investment specifics on the new center but described it as a multimillion dollar project that would help it expand into significant growth markets including India.

Bangalore has been a major center for IBM’s global software and service activities starting from the mid-1990s when it established a large operation at the Golden Enclave towers on the Old HAL Airport Road.

Firing in U.S., Hiring in India
Even as it trims headcount in the U.S., IBM has expanded hiring in India over the last decade and now has close to 100,000 employees in the country.

    It’s business, dear. It’s fucking business.

    Cries of hiring in India and firing in USofA will go no where if IBM thinks that it can make profit by hiring in India.

    You Write Above: Cries of hiring in India and firing in USofA will go no where if IBM thinks that it can make profit by hiring in India.

    Very true, particularly given the army of lobbyists employed by IBM, HP, GE and other large corporations here to pursue their narrow interests.

    Just wondering, how long before the Yellow Monkeys steal your software lunch?

    I see Americans’ life becoming miserable day by day. All the manufacturing jobs and industries has gone to china and all the IT jobs going to India.

    I see market of an american consultant is shrinking day by day. USA was the land of opportunities , Anyone with brain, courage and will can make his fortunes. You can become a millionaire in this country purely on your skills.Hundreds of guys can become millionaires but now big fishes like Wipro, Infosys.etc are showing carrots to some directors and taking contracts. What these dung head IT guys in india dont understand is, These [Deleted] like Narayan murthy, azim premji pocket cool mllions and in turn they’re paid salaries like 30k, 50k INR .

    Are these narayan murthy. azim premji or satyam raju creating any entrepreneurs in india?. They’re only creating laborers. An IT guy is made to slog day and night. This is called modern slavery. Atleast with all those millions are they doing any charity? .

    Warren buffet donated 80% of his earnings to charities. Bill gates has donated most of his personal fortunes to charities and research. It is a sad present for america and a very bleak future as there will not be any more warren buffets or bill gates because of this monsters eating away everything.

    Obama are you listening?

    1. You write: I see Americans’ life becoming miserable day by day. All the manufacturing jobs and industries has gone to china and all the IT jobs going to India.

    Since the horse has already left the barn, we doubt much can really be done at this stage.

    When future historians write the story of America’s decline, they will be unambiguously that the greed of a few led to enormous misery for many.

    Obama’s administration, decent as it is relatively speaking, comes too late.

    Only two things can stem the decline now – a five-year moratorium on immigration/H1B/L1 and a punitive tax on outsourcing. But to expect either event to happen is to live in la la land.

    2. Narayana Murthy is alright only when compared to Premji.
