IBM Acquires Watchfire of Israel
Armonk, NY, 6 June 2007--IBM today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Israeli Watchfire Corporation, a privately held security and compliance testing software company based in Waltham, Massachusetts. The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007. Financial details were not disclosed.
Online security and privacy incidents are on the rise which can result in loss of customer trust, costly technology and business remedies and often legal battles. According to a 2005 CSI/FBI Survey, internal security attacks cost U.S. businesses $400 billion per year. Watchfire technology, together with IBM, can help customers reduce these security risks and the associated costs to their bottom line.
Watchfire technology will extend IBM's governance and r
isk management strategy, with broad security and compliance capabilities integrated into the software development lifecycle. Watchfire with IBM Rational software will help customers integrate web application security and compliance early on and throughout the software development process. As a result, customers will now be able to define, test and track the compliance of their applications with security, legal and corporate requirements.
Israeli Watchfire is a leading provider of web application security and compliance testing solutions. IBM Rational software provides clients with comprehensive software quality management solutions, including the ability to perform functional and performance tests while developing software. With the addition of the Israeli company's technology, customers will now be able to include security, compliance and quality testing as part of their web application development, which will ensure the business integrity of their applications before they go live. Watchfire tech
nology will also complement existing IBM Tivoli identity, access and compliance management software offerings and ISS by extending security and compliance testing as an integrated element of the application development lifecycle.
IBM's acquisition of Watchfire builds upon the existing relationship between the two companies. Founded in 1996, Watchfire is a Ready for IBM Rational software Business Partner, meaning Watchfire validated the integration of their offerings to the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform. Watchfire has more than 800 customers in many industries around the globe, including but not limited to financial services, government, technology, pharmaceutical, energy and utilities, education, and manufacturing which rely on Watchfire to identify, report and help remediate security vulnerabilities.
Watchfire's operations will become part of IBM's Rational software brand, which produced double-digit revenue growth in the first quarter of 2007.
