IBM Security QRadar provides intelligent security analytics for actionable insight into critical threats. Its Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capability allows security teams to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats across the enterprise. It automatically analyzes and aggregates log and flow data from different devices, endpoints, and apps across the network. Moreover, it has single alerts to speed incident analysis and remediation.
Network insights
Network Insights gives deep visibility through real-time network traffic analysis.
