Respond with confidence
Coordinate your team's incident response, provide visibility into incident progress, receive timely notifications, and enhance collaboration by assigning tasks to team members, including key stakeholders from business units such as IT, legal, and HR.
Product Introduction
Key Functions
Consistent Collaboration through Case Management
Ensuring the right people get the right information at the right time is critical for incident response. IBM Security™ QRadar® SOAR empowers security teams through powerful case management capabilities that enable in-platform notifications and information sharing. It can also extend communication beyond the SOC to include key players in IT, legal, communications, and human resources functions by integrating with popular collaboration tools.
Playbook Designer for Creating, Editing, and Customizing Playbooks
Users can create detailed tasks and workflow elements in one location, quickly process and transform threat/enrichment data without code to reduce response time. This provides data to cases and enables faster decision-making with predefined configurable blocks built into the startup experience and context help.
Quickly Install and Deploy Integrations through AppHost
IBM Security QRadar SOAR enables diverse integrations with other security tools through an extensive orchestration and automation ecosystem built on more than 160 IBM-certified third-party supported and community applications published through IBM® App Exchange. AppHost, QRadar SOAR's new integration server, helps quickly and easily install and configure applications through a step-by-step installation process that allows editable settings and configurations.
Visualize and Understand Relationships Between Incidents
The artifact visualization graph helps better see and understand relationships between incidents and details associated with each incident, helping uncover broader campaigns or Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Information about related closed or open incidents is also displayed in IBM Security QRadar SOAR's tooltips and timeline views.
Respond with Agility and Intelligence using Dynamic Playbooks
IBM Security QRadar SOAR's playbooks are dynamic and additive, meaning they adjust and change to fit incidents as known facts progress during incident investigation. This dynamism is crucial for Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts, enhancing their ability to respond to incidents by providing recommended courses of action and the pivot capabilities needed for event changes.
Simplify Complex Processes with Visual Workflows
Workflows codify enterprise incident response processes, allowing users to remove repetitive tasks through automation and make decisions through orchestration by integrating with other security tools and human intelligence. Using the visual workflow editor, teams can design and build complex workflows using a Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) engine that doesn't require specialized programming or coding skills. Playbooks consist of one or more heterogeneous workflows.
Integrate Privacy Use Cases with the QRadar SOAR Platform
Handle complex privacy breach reporting requirements and meet regulatory compliance standards with IBM Security QRadar SOAR with Privacy as challenges continue to grow. At the heart of the solution, the Global Privacy Regulations Knowledgebase tracks more than 170 global regulations including GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA, CCPA, and all 50 official breach notification rules, guiding teams through the breach notification process.
