Product Details

What is IBM Security QRadar SIEM?

IBM QRadar SIEM helps users to remediate threats faster by prioritizing high-fidelity alerts to help catch threats.

QRadar analytics monitor threat intel, network and user behavior anomalies to prioritize where immediate attention and remediation is needed. When threat actors trigger multiple detection analytics, move across the network or change their behaviors, QRadar SIEM will track each tactic and technique being used. More important, it will correlate, track and identify related activities throughout a kill chain, with a single high-fidelity case, automatically prioritized for the user.

From my own experience, in medium and large companies, qradar is a good solution. Now in small businesses, the cost becomes high. Perhaps it would be better to hire a third-party service than to have your own SIEM environment.

I would only recommend IBM Security QRadar SIEM in a few situations. For one, it's very easy to setup and use if all your log sources are generic from known vendors. It's also significantly cheaper than Splunk, which is nice if you're trying to save money or be more efficient. I would not recommend IBM Security QRadar SIEM for environments with a lot of custom logs and complicated detection requirements.

QRadar SIEM is a robust solution for collecting and correlating security events. I have had fantastic experience with use cases of attacks in Windows environments using sysmon logs and rules that contain the Miter techniques for each attack. Wincollect is the IBM agent that performs log collection in Windows environments and it does so with great performance. Perhaps QRadar SIEM is not suitable for creating a data lake and only for the purpose of storing logs, especially logs that do not have ready parsing

An example scenario is the detection of ddos attacks. The product immediately notices if there are high ping requests or abnormal access requests on a machine. Another scenario is repeated attempts within a short period of time to access a machine by entering incorrect credentials. IBM Security QRadar SIEM in this case signals a possible bruteforce attack.

IBM Secuirty QRadar SIEM has proven to be an industry leader time and again for multiple years. It’s user friendly historical searches, reference set management and other key features makes it easy for new SOC analysts .Its well suited for medium to large size organizations. However, it’s not an ideal solution for smaller organizations as the solution incurs a decent license cost. Small organization can manage at free SIEM solutions.

IBM Security QRadar SIEM is great to collect, process and search events, but sometimes have some bugs and or incompatibilities with some tools in our organisation, because that, sometimes, we need open a case on support to investigate the root cause and in most times, the root cause is not identify by support team.

QRadar is very well suited on environments where there are not multiple tenants or domains, we do have success on this kind of scenario.

IBM Security QRadar SIEM is less appropriate for environments with multiple tenants, specially when each tenant represent a different End Costumer (such as for MSSP companies), those environments require a high amount of rules and building blocks replications, since each tenant will have its own "BB definitions", servers, rules exception, etc. Also, some information, such as EPS count or EPS dropped are generated by QRadar's own log sources, which takes place on default domain, therefore users associated with different domain can not have access to those logs, even when the information is related to other domain's environment. For example, even if Event Collector 1 is associated to Domain A, the log informing its dropped EPS is generated by System notification, log source that must be associated to Default domain.

Good solution, wide visibility

IBM Security QRadar SIEM works well in terms of event correlation, customization of use cases, visibility of log source on premise, however, when moving forward with the integration of log source in the cloud, there is no identification for the correct scope of the events. Additionally, something in visibility is lost for profiles that are not admin.

All the Built-in Rules coming out of the box are not good. Need to write their own correlation rules for each organization using their specifics. IBM Security QRadar SIEM is good as a base of SOC.

monitoring network traffic is much easier while having siem in your organization and the scenario where siem is less apricated is installing adding logs source making rules according to your desire or the last thing ibm support team not proving the good feedback on instant basis in case of any critical scenarios.
