IBM announced on November 20 Cloud Pak for Security, presenting innovations that are a first in the industry to connect with any security tool, cloud or locally installed system (on-premise), without moving data from its original source. The new platform includes open technology to detect threats, automation capabilities to help accelerate the response to cybersecurity attacks and the ability to run in any environment.

In a statement, IBM notes that as companies move forward in cloud adoption, applications and data extend across multiple public and private clouds, as well as on-premise resources.
