Technology Solutions: SIEM

Challenge: Detecting and mitigating risk from threats with centralized security information and event management (SIEM).

Over the past few years, there has been a considerable increase in the number of complex, Internet-based threats that, if left undetected, will have a significant impact on an organization.

Compounding this problem further is an unfortunate steady rise in insider theft of valuable corporate information by unscrupulous employees.

To combat this broad spectrum of potential threats, organizations have heavily invested in targeted security solutions, including firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and vulnerability scanners. Unfortunately, these solutions alone have not been able to completely protect enterprises from the evolving landscape of sophisticated threats from both outside and inside its walls.

In many cases, companies are flying blind because they lack integrated visibility into the security solutions that are already in place. In the case of insider threats, companies lack the surveillance necessary to accurately pinpoint the actual individual or system that was responsible for malicious behavior.

QRadar for Threat Management

Q1 Labs' flagship network security management solution, QRadar, provides an improved approach to threat management through the convergence of valuable and actionable surveillance that spans all facets of the enterprise IT infrastructure.

QRadar's advanced logging capabilities help respond to threats missed by technology or operational silos by:

• Detecting threats that existing security products are missing, or are lost in the noise of millions of events
  
• Providing effective SIEM that converges network, security, and identity information to pinpoint threats that other security monitoring products would miss – even when both are deployed in the same environment
  
• Enabling better cooperation between network and security operations
  
• Leveraging Layer 7 application flow data to detect inappropriate use of protocols and applications
  
• Integrating valuable identity information from corporate directories to accurately assess exactly who is posing a risk to the organization
  
• Delivering automated analysis typically performed by a security specialist to validate or refute security incidents which greatly improves the accuracy of threat detection
