Security analysts come up against thousands of attacks and threats every day. That is to say, the alerts generated by legacy tools can build to an overwhelming amount of noise. A modern Security Information and Event Management system (SIEM) can prioritize these threats and cut through the noise to intelligently advise on the appropriate response, and reduce the impact of incidents when they occur. Strengthen your organization’s security practice with IBM QRadar SIEM, which can be found in the IBM Security App Exchange. There are a variety of components within the IBM QRadar SIEM geared towards specific strategies.

IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Separate the signal from the noise by normalizing log and network flow data to form a more powerful analytical view across an enterprise. Moreover, SIEM consolidates and interprets data to create an alert based off of various types of analysis: historical, pattern, forecasting and statistical. Cognitive reasoning within the investigation determines the severity of the event.

QRadar Advisor with Watson

IBM has integrated artificial intelligence (IBM Watson) into their security platform to automatically examine and learn from vulnerabilities. QRadar Advisor with Watson uses cognitive reasoning to supply invaluable insight into the trends across your environment. Most importantly, this tool gets more intelligent over time and can analyze past incidents to better defend against future ones.

IBM QRadar on Cloud

A network security intelligence tool identifies breaches and attacks. This allows for immediate response to critical issues and often reaches analysts before the incident can inflict damage. This is a cloud-based service that doesn’t require the deployment of complex technical elements.

IBM QRadar Vulnerability Manager

Integrated into the IBM QRadar Security Platform, the Vulnerability Manager helps lower risk and achieve compliance through vulnerability scans and advanced analytics. In addition, a policy engine automatically checks compliance. 

IBM QRadar Network Insights

Criminals are more and more often turning to network as a point of infiltration with malware, phishing e-mails, DNS application abuse and data extrusion. Modern threat detection goes beyond security log activity. With Network Insights, a hacker’s footprint is exposed and traced back to the vulnerability.

IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics (UBA)

Collects data from users to pinpoint when malicious insiders have taken over a user’s credentials. Security analysts use QRadar UBA to find high-risk users by producing “risk scores.”

In conclusion, if your organization’s security talent is looking for a tool to easily implement a modern SIEM as well as streamline threat detection and response, look no further than IBM QRadar. Find out more here.
