IBM QRadar Security Threat Monitoring Content Extension

The IBM® QRadar® Security Threat Monitoring Content Extension on the IBM Security App Exchange (https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/hub) contains rules, building blocks, and custom properties that are intended for use with X-Force feed data.

The X-Force data includes a list of potentially malicious IP addresses and URLs with a corresponding threat score. You use the X-Force rules to automatically flag any security event or network activity data that involves the addresses, and to prioritize the incidents before you begin to investigate them.

The following list shows examples of the types of incidents that you can identify using the X-Force rules:
  • when the [source IP|destinationIP|anyIP] is part of any of the following [remote network locations]
  • when [this host property] is categorized by X-Force as [Anonymization Servers|Botnet C&C|DynamicIPs|Malware|ScanningIPs|Spam] with confidence value [equal to] [this amount]
  • when [this URL property] is categorized by X-Force as [Gambling|Auctions|Job Search|Alcohol|Social Networking|Dating]

QRadar downloads approximately 30 MB of IP reputation data per day when you enable the X-Force Threat Intelligence feed for use with the IBM QRadar Security Threat Monitoring Content Extension.
