Wroclaw, Poland - 19 Jun 2017: IBM (NYSE: IBM )
Security today announced the official opening of its
modernized European IBM X-Force Command Center
based in Poland. The center has new cognitive
capabilities, including IBM Watson for Cybersecurity,
and expanded data localization services designed to
help address clients’ preferences and GDPR
requirements.
Located in Wrocław, Poland, the center joins the global
network of IBM X-Force Command Centers, which
process upwards of one trillion cyber incidents each
month, helping to protect 4,500 clients across 133
countries. This global network is staffed by over 1,400
security professionals who provide around the clock
service to clients. The IBM X-Force Command Center in
Poland builds upon IBM’s $200 million investment in
incident response capabilities announced last year.
The key areas of focus for the IBM X-Force Command
Center in Poland are supporting clients in responding to
cybersecurity incidents and serving as the hub in the
company’s global network for GDPR expertise and
specialized services. Through the center, IBM will be
able to offer clients the option of managing their
security data via IBM staff and infrastructure in Europe.
IBM X-Force analysts and experts will also help clients
with expedited incident response reporting, which could
aid clients with the data breach notification requirement
of the GDPR.
“The new IBM X-Force Command Center in Poland is a
critical investment in helping clients seamlessly respond
to cybersecurity incidents as well as prepare for GDPR,”
said Julian Meyrick, Vice President, IBM Security,
Europe. “In the center, insights from IBM’s world-
renowned X-Force research team come together with
local world-class talent to help clients take an immune
system approach to cybersecurity.”
Cognitive Security to Fight Cybercrime
According to the 2017 IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence
Index, which surveys cyber security trends, 2016 saw a
dramatic increase in records compromised, from 600
million to more than 4 billion incidents of illegally
acquired records, climbing 566% from 2015. Analysts
warn that the problem will be exacerbated, as the
number of incidents within the next 5 years is expected
to double. These statistics expose the companies to
hefty potential losses, with the average total cost of a
data breach amounting to $4 million.1
In response to the challenges, IBM invested $200 million
in the development of new centers, solutions and
software aimed at fighting cyber threats. Thanks to the
implementation of IBM Watson-powered cognitive
solutions, it will be possible to significantly reduce
incident response times.
The newly-launched IBM X-Force Command Center in
Wrocław is staffed by world-class security professionals
who will use cognitive technologies like Watson for
client services, including chat sessions and data
delivery, as well as Watson for Cyber Security to quickly
address cyber security events.

The new center has expanded its space by nearly three
times, while client engagement spaces have also been
modernized to include telepresence systems. IBM
analysts will be working in a modern space designed to
promote an agile work environment, including new
workstations which enable better communication
between employees. Wroclaw Center’s services can now
be provided under the EU delivery model, which implies
that the client’s data will not be moved outside of the
European Union.
“Both the growth of scale and the degree of intricacy of
cyber-attacks require from us a continuous development
of competencies in fighting cyber-attacks. For this
purpose, we have developed the Wrocław X-Force
Command Center and we are extending its range of
services,” says Daniel Donhefner, Security Poland Site
Leader. “Our specialists are able to continuously monitor
the security of our clients and thanks to the most
advanced cognitive technologies, immediately identify
and manage threats for their companies,” he adds.
IBM has collaborated with local academic centers to
help train future potential employees. This includes
programs with Wrocław University of Science and
Technology and Wrocław University of Economics where
the company’s experts give lectures and co-create
courses. This has contributed to 95 percent of local
specialists holding university degrees while others have
multi-year experience in security.
