IBM Security X-Force Threat Management (XFTM) Service provides 24/7 monitoring and investigation of alerts produced by AWS Security Partner SIEM technologies as well as alerting and incident response capabilities.

The convergence of IT with cloud-native security, OT and IoT domains requires integrated cybersecurity. XFTM NIST-based approach integrates insight, detection, investigation, and response for threats across your AWS environments, traditional IT, and unmanaged and connected devices at scale. The IBM Security platform ingests security information from many AWS native controls including GuardDuty, CloudTrail, SecurityHub, Network Firewall, Detective and others.

XFTM provides clients with visibility across their AWS cloud and hybrid environment and proactive management of threats with consistent, reliable outcomes. Our cloud-based managed service leverages AWS cloud-native security capabilities to provide a SOAR-powered (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) workflow for end-to-end threat management across AWS and hybrid cloud environments.

Globally available with regional delivery capabilities, XFTM can be packaged to provide market-leading consulting and systems integration, offensive security, incident response, cloud security and managed security services aligned to the NIST CSF to help clients programmatically grow and transform enterprise security operations.
