IBM's 20th security acquisition as builds business
IBM Security is buying Agile 3 Solutions, a US developer of software used by the C-Suite and senior executives to manage risks associated with the protection of sensitive data. IBM Data Security Services will integrate Agile 3 Solutions’ capabilities into its data protection software IBM Guardium. Agile 3 Solutions marks the 20th security-related company IBM has acquired as part of a series of investments.
Marc van Zadelhoff, General Manager, IBM Security: "Adding Agile 3 Solutions to the IBM Security immune system of capabilities gives our team the ability to not only protect critical data, but demonstrate why it is at risk, and how to remediate that risk. Knowing what your crown jewel data is, and understanding its susceptibility to exploitation via external or insider threats, is an imperative for any organisation."
Financial terms were not disclosed and the transaction is expected to close within several weeks.
