Playbooks automate key tasks and increase analyst productivity by providing a consistent user experience for all your analysts. Clients such as TalkTalk see cases resolve 8 times faster with SOAR playbooks. With QRadar SOAR, hundreds of prebuilt integrations can be used to easily automate the steps to investigate and resolve a case.
Key feature details
Ensuring the right person gets the right information at the right time is crucial to incident response. IBM Security QRadar SOAR empowers your security team with robust case management capabilities that enable in-platform notifications and information sharing. It can also extend communications beyond the security operations center (SOC) to involve key players in functions such as IT, legal, communications and human resources by integrating with popular collaboration tools.
Users can create detailed tasks and workflow elements from a single location and quickly process and transform threat/enrichment data without code to accelerate response times. This allows for faster decision-making, with predefined, configurable blocks that present data to a case and provide built-in “getting started” experiences and in-context help.
With an extensive orchestration and automation ecosystem formed by more than 160 IBM validated, third-party supported and community applications published through the IBM App Exchange, IBM Security QRadar SOAR enables numerous integrations with other security tools. AppHost, IBM Security QRadar SOAR's new integration server, makes the installation and configuration of applications quick and simple with a step-by-step installation process that allows for editable settings and configurations.
Use the artifact visualization graph to better see and understand the relationship between incidents and the details associated with each incident, which may help uncover a broader campaign or an advanced persistent threat (APT). Information about related closed or open incidents is also displayed in hover and timeline view in IBM Security QRadar SOAR.
IBM Security QRadar SOAR playbooks are dynamic and additive, which means they adapt and change with an incident as the known facts evolve during an incident investigation. This dynamism is critical to your SOC analysts because it amplifies your team’s ability to respond to incidents by providing a recommended course of action, offering the agility to pivot as required by changing events.
Track metrics and KPIs for incidents and users, including mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR), through IBM Security QRadar SOAR's comprehensive dashboards and reporting capabilities. Based on your results and analysis, you may choose to run simulations to train new employees, test new workflows and incident response plans, or practice different cyberthreat scenarios.
Workflows codify your organization's incident response processes and allow you to use automation to eliminate repetitive tasks, orchestration to integrate with other security tools, and human intelligence to make decisions. The visual workflow editor enables your team to design and build complex workflows with a business process management notation (BPMN) engine that requires no special programming or coding skills. Playbooks consist of a single or multiple discrete workflows.
Keep up with the ever-increasing challenges to address complex privacy breach reporting requirements and meet compliance standards with IBM Security QRadar SOAR with Privacy. The Global Privacy Regulations Knowledgebase, at the heart of the solution, tracks over 170 global regulations, including GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA, CCPA and all 50 stated breach notification rules, and provides your team with guidance through the breach notification process.
