Security News > 2020 > October > Softly-as-a-service: IBM whispers plan for security SaaS based on a Cloud Pak
IBM has quietly announced a plan to turn one of its security software bundles into a software-as-a-service.
About two-thirds of the way down this week's list is a declaration titled: "Statement of direction: IBM plans to launch IBM Cloud Pak for Security software as a service offering."
"The announcement states:"IBM intends to offer a IBM Cloud Pak for Security SaaS offering that is designed to help clients and partners uncover hidden threats, make more informed risk-based decisions, and help prioritize their team's time.
"Using this service, clients and partners will be able to connect their existing data sources to generate deeper insights, securely access IBM and third-party tools to search for threats across any cloud or on-premises location, and quickly orchestrate actions and responses to those threats."
Turning its containerized Cloud Paks into SaaS could be a new frontier, and also fits quite well with the corp's recently announced strategy to offload low-value services and focus further on cloud and consulting.
