IBM launches new SMB security product
In its ongoing effort to court the SMB market, IBM has announced a new security product for small business. Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway, a scaled-down version of Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, will allow SMB devices to connect to each other as nodes in a larger security network, where they can share information using a single sign-on. “The hubs want to sell to smaller partners and before, these partners would have to use the full product to be a spoke,” said Joe Anthony, IBM’s Tivoli identity management director. The new product’s data requirements are about 33 percent of the full version’s. Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway will be available to businesses on November 24th.
