Reducing Data Silos: How it looks in QRadar
Single incident
derived from ~20k
events and 355
flows
 QRadar automatically pulls all related
events and flows into a single security
incident
 Highlights the magnitude / importance
 Reduction into manageable daily

Activity / Behaviour Monitoring, Flow Analytics, Anomaly
Detection
 Behaviour / activity base
lining of users and processes
 Helps detect day-zero
attacks and covert channels
that have no signature or AV
/ IPS detection
 Provides definitive evidence
of attack
 Enables visibility into attacker
communications
Network traffic does not lie
Attackers can stop logging and erase their tracks, but can’t cut off the network (flow data)

Anomaly Detection & APTs
User & Application Activity Monitoring alerts to a user anomaly for
Oracle database access.
Identify the user, normal
access behavior and the
anomaly behavior with all
source and destination
information for quickly resolving
the persistent threat.

Managing risk
CISOs know it’s not if, it’s when they get hacked; yet there is still a gap in ability to
detect breach.
 Breaches are taking longer to discover
 Breaches are not being discovered internally

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper

or misuse of your systems, including to attack others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure
can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will
32 necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT © 2012 IBM Corporation
