Service detail
IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ examines Internet transaction data to measure, monitor and control applications and user experiences. The infrastructure layer plug-in wraps around Web applications to add real-time security, agility, responsiveness and functionality.
IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ helps deliver:
Delivering real-time contextual interaction, IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ customises user experiences both before and after clients access an application. It provides a security barrier that flexibly mitigates today’s – and tomorrow’s – Internet threats.
Using a front-end preprocessing filter, IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ assesses all data contained in every Internet request (including IP address, browser information and more).
Combined with other information (such as geo location lookups, blacklists and customer past behaviour), IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ makes a real-time decision. For example, it can deny a request to access an application, send an alert, ask for additional authentication, create a fraud case or simply allow a transaction to progress.
Using a graphical rules engine, IBM Threat Mitigation Services – FMT Octopus™ can limit, add or secure application features. And, just as easily as modifications are activated, they can be turned off.
