IBM to boost cybersecurity awareness with start-ups

Globally, companies noticed a 10% drop in data breach cost

IBM plans to step up cybersecurity awareness among small and medium Indian businesses through its different co-innovation activities with start-ups.
 
The IT major — which is working with nearly 1,200 start-ups in the country to get expertise for its enterprise clients and offering them its cognitive, cloud platforms — foresees faster adoption of cybersecurity solutions amongst start-ups since a majority of them are ‘born on cloud’.
 
The company said start-ups and technology-enabled small businesses would require end-to-end data security solutions as more such firms are developing applications on the cloud from ‘day one’.
