IBM is expected to launch on Monday new services and software aimed at making wireless networks and communications more secure and widely used, the company said Sunday. IBM, based in Armonk, N.Y., said it put together a broad-based offering by its services division, Global Services, that helps companies assess, plan and implement ways to make their wireless applications and transactions more secure.

IBM also said it will launch a new version of its risk management software, Tivoli Risk Manager, that includes the ability for a corporation to manage its wireless risks the same way it manages its firewalls, servers and other security exposures.

IBM said it was already selling ThinkPad notebooks and NetVista desktop computers that include a security chip that can prevent outsiders from hacking into the machine through a wireless network.
