Define and accelerate incident response processes with intelligent playbooks
Define your incident response process
When responding to a cybersecurity incident, every second matters. You need to make the right decisions, based on the right data, with the right decision makers, all in the right order. To respond quickly, it’s essential to have a well-defined and efficient incident response plan.
A well-defined incident response (IR) plan requires planning, skills, coordination and automation to ensure a timely and accurate response. NIST outlines IR guidelines that have withstood the test of time. A well-defined IR process should have the following phases:
Preparation
Detection and analysis
Containment, eradication and recovery
Post-incident activity
IBM QRadar SOAR empowers your organization to define and execute a strong IR process. Infused with intelligence and automation, QRadar SOAR uses a simple hierarchy of phases, tasks and actions required to aid in your team’s quick and decisive response to cybersecurity incidents.
How it works
Time is of the essence during an attack whether thats ransomware, phishing, or any advanced cyberthreat. QRadar SOAR’s automation capabilities save time and reduce the learning curve for new analysts. Dynamic playbooks evolve to reflect the changing nature of the threat while with over 300 integrations on the IBM App Exchange and support for open standards and custom integrations, QRadar SOAR automates and accelerates the response to help minimize the impact.
With native support for thousands of open source Sigma Rules, security analysts can quickly import new, validated, crowdsourced instructions directly from the security community as threats evolve.
Ensure all your siloed data can be accessed to enrich threat investigations. Federated search provides you cost-effective flexibility to choose between what mission critical data is ingested into your SIEM and searching data where it resides.

Once a security incident has been resolved, QRadar SOAR facilitates a variety of post-incident activities to complete recovery. Whether thats automating remediation actions or generating documentation of the response steps taken in order to identify improvements and so better protect the organization in the future. In the case of a data breach, the QRadar SOAR Breach Response Module helps maintain compliance and avoid expensive financial penalties.
“With IBM, we now have an accurate 24-hour view of the world in real time. We can see every endpoint, every system. And that’s made our cross-team collaboration much more efficient," says Robert Oh, Chief Operating Officer, DDI.
“For an SOC to be effective, the ability to prioritize our response to the most pressing security risks is nearly as important as detection. The QRadar solution... has made our team far more effective at addressing the threat landscape," says Umair Shakil, Head of Security Operations Center Unit, Askari Bank.
“Our Netox Trust cybersecurity services provide visibility into [customers'] unknowns, and our playbooks help them respond when an attack happens," says Marita Harju, Senior Manager, Cyber Security, Netox Oy.
