IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced it is the first vendor to commit to monthly testing to measure the security effectiveness across its entire product portfolio. The testing will be conducted by NSS Labs, a leading global independent testing lab that focuses on security product testing and certification. At the same time, IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) is announcing results from its latest NSS Labs Security Update Monitor (SUM) report from December that showed 100 percent protection against tested exploits. IBM ISS began measuring the effectiveness of its security products in 2002 to ensure its strong research and development arm was keeping up with the ever evolving threat landscape. In late 2008 the company chose to test its entire portfolio of products, from its unified threat management tool to host and network security, for third-party validation across its product portfolio. In addition to security effectiveness testing, IBM ISS submitted the IBM ISS Proventia Server for Windows 2.0 and the Proventia Multifunction Gateway products for PCI suitability testing to verify the presence of functionality required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
