Experts will rate potential severity of business security threats.

IBM today introduced a security service that offers a concise, monthly global-network threat report designed to help organizations assess security needs and vulnerabilities from a business perspective.

The IBM Global Business Security Index compiles threat information from some 2700 IBM security professionals and half a million monitored devices, the company says. The data is then analyzed by IBM security intelligence and consulting experts to rate the potential severity of IT threats.

IBM, in Armonk, New York, will sell the report to businesses as a new IBM Security Intelligence Services offering. The report can be customized according to industry and starts at a base price of around $10,000 to $15,000 a year, according to a company spokesperson. Additionally, a portion of the report will be available every month for free on the company's Web site, the spokesperson says.
