AI Powers QRadar
IBM notes that the QRadar Suite is the culmination of years of investment, acquisitions and innovations in threat detection and response. It features dozens of mature AI and automation capabilities that have been refined over time with real-world users and data, including IBM Managed Security Service engagements with more than 400 clients. It also includes innovations developed in collaboration with IBM Research and the open source security community.
QRadar automatically contextualizes and prioritizes alerts, displays data in visual format for rapid consumption, and provides shared insights and automated workflows between products. This approach can drastically reduce the number of steps and screens required to investigate and respond to threats.
Examples include:
By helping analysts respond faster and more efficiently, QRadar technologies can also help security teams improve their productivity and free up analysts' time for higher value work, IBM stated.
