IBM Is A Leader In MSS With Excellent Offerings And A Solid Strategy

The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q4 2007

by Thomas Raschke

with Jonathan Penn, Matthew McCormack


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

IT giant IBM earned one of the top slots in the first Forrester Wave on managed security services (MSS). It stands out as having a convincing and articulate strategy, while it also possesses most core competencies in its current offering. With a large range of capabilities as well as established security expertise and technologies — many gained from IBM's recent acquisition of ISS — IBM occupies a very strong position in the MSS market. But the firm needs to continue to marry ISS's security expertise with Big Blue's broader IT reach and services muscle.
