Overview

Detect and identify cyber threats

Whether researching the latest threat intelligence or expanding on the details of a high priority alert, security teams often need to search and pinpoint indicators of compromise (IOC). They need threat hunting tools that are easy to use, powerful, fast and accurate to better identify and disrupt potential threats against their organization.

With IBM Security® QRadar® Log Insights and IBM Security® QRadar® SIEM, threat hunting teams can rapidly uncover time-sensitive insights about cyber threat actors and their motivations, disrupting malicious activity and enhancing security measures against future threats.

How it works

Threat detection in QRadar Log Insights

QRadar Log Insights helps you find threats by using the latest malicious IP addresses, URLs and malware file hashes. It applies threat intelligence to both manual investigations and automatically-created cases. QRadar Log Insights leverages Sigma Rules and uses Kestrel Threat Hunting as the AI base component. The AI model acts as a security analyst who knows exactly what to hunt for. After threat intelligence capabilities identify risky behavior or critical security threats, QRadar Log Insights aligns the security data to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which reduces the triage process to minutes. If your system identifies a threat, it will recommend incident response actions based on industry best practices and methodologies.

Normalized activity in QRadar SIEM

With hundreds of data sources in a typical IT environment, searching for vulnerabilities or anomalies can be complicated. If you don’t know what to look for, it can take days. QRadar SIEM (security information and event management) makes searching for IOC easier by normalizing the activity from log sources and network traffic. Searching normalized activity improves results, decreases the time to search and reduces false positives. Unlike other security solutions that warehouse and index activity, QRadar device support modules (DSMs) are built with the understanding of the log source data it is ingesting. The events are parsed and normalized into a common structure. This allows for simplified queries. For example, “login failed” versus “log-in not successful”. Simple search tools such as Visual Query Build or AQL help security analysts with proactive threat hunting.
