IBM QRadar SIEM - Details

Feature spotlights

Sense and detect fraud, insider and advanced threats

Deploy a single, highly scalable platform to reduce thousands of security events into a manageable list of suspected offenses. Collect logs and events from many sources including network assets, security devices, operating systems, applications, databases and identity and access management products. Pull network flow data, including Layer 7 (application-layer) data, from switches and routers.

Perform immediate event normalization and correlation

Optimize threat detection and compliance reporting by reducing billions of events and flows into a handful of actionable offenses and prioritize them according to business impact. Perform activity baselining and anomaly detection to identify changes in behavior associated with applications, hosts, users and areas of the network. Use IBM® X-Force® Threat Intelligence (optional) to identify activity associated with suspicious IP addresses, such as those suspected of hosting malware.

Sense, track and link significant incidents and threats

Simplify and enhance investigations by performing event and flow analysis using either near real-time streaming or historical data. Add IBM QRadar® QFlow and IBM QRadar VFlow Collector for deep insight and visibility into applications, databases, collaboration products and social media through deep packet inspection of Layer 7 network traffic.

Deploy QRadar SIEM on premises or in cloud environments

Collect events and flows from applications running both in the cloud and on-premises, or have IBM deploy, manage and maintain your QRadar infrastructure while your staff performs security threat management tasks.

Quickly and inexpensively add more storage and processing

Add QRadar Data Node plug-in storage capabilities to increase your local storage capacity, improve search performance when retrieving data for offense investigations and eliminate bottlenecks without increasing licensing terms.

Provide enforcement of data-privacy policies

Includes an intuitive reporting engine that does not require advanced database and report-writing skills. Provide the transparency, accountability and measurability to meet regulatory mandates and compliance reporting.
