IBM has partnered with Finmeccanica‘s Selex ES company to form a virtual cybersecurity competence center that will deliver their combined technologies to combat cyber crime.
Selex said Monday the center will work to provide services for the defense of both private and public information technology infrastructure, as well as intellectual property.
The company added that the competence center will serve as a hub for the companies’ cyber efforts and leverage IBM’s “X-Force” team and the IBM X-Force Exchange threat-sharing platform, as well as Selex’s threat prevention and cyber operations experience.
According to Selex, it will also exchange knowledge with IBM on cyber threat intelligence, security operations centers and further cyber research and investments.
