IBM has introduced new cloud computing offerings, including a security assessment to help businesses understand what needs protection.
Big Blue's assessment service will compare a company's cloud solutions' security programs against industry best practices and the client's set cloud security objectives.
IBM professionals can then draw up a list of measures to help improve the overall security environment.
A hosted vulnerability management scanning solution has also been launched by IBM, helping to identify security flaws in network devices, servers, web applications and databases.
"The new hosted vulnerability management scanning solution carries advanced scanning capabilities for complicated security challenges and provides strong reporting capabilities through a web-based portal that helps us easily satisfy our audit requirements," said IBM customer Henrique Matiole, IT supervisor for Brazilian-based firm ArcelorMittal Sistemas.
Amongst the other new services is the IBM Cloud Security Strategy Roadmap, which places Big Blue employees on site to help define the client's cloud aims and security plans.
The aim is to develop a "high-level" security strategy roadmap for attaining cloud security goals, IBM said.
"The one size fits all' cloud security strategy will not work for most businesses," said Steve Robinson, general manager for IBM Security Solutions.
"Our enterprise clients are looking for a trusted adviser to provide the right mix of security consulting services and offerings to match," Robinson added.
