As the number of connected devices proliferates, security testing should occur completely through development to deployment, IBM says.
IBM on Monday is launching new security services testing for Internet of Things (IoT) developers, as well as the automotive industry. The new services should help test the security of connected devices throughout development and deployment.
First, IBM is announcing that Watson IoT Platform is offering its customers services from IBM X-Force Red, its year-old security testing group. Some analysts have wondered whether Watson will pay off for IBM before other tech companies catch up in terms of their cognitive offerings. With this new service, IBM is trying to prove it’s the best partner for enterprises that want to develop smart connected devices.
