At the RSA Conference, IBM launched a platform-centric expansion to its QRadar security product, designed as a one-stop shop to accelerate response and offer a unified framework for security operations centers.

"Today's Security Operation Center teams are protecting a fast-expanding digital footprint that extends across hybrid cloud environments - creating complexity and making it hard to keep pace with accelerating attack speeds," according to IBM, which also said the products are specifically meant to help buttress security operations center teams facing labor-intensive alert investigations and response processes, manual analysis and the proliferation of tools, data, points of engagement, APIs and other potential vulnerabilities.

XDR, SIEM and SOAR. Keeping pace with one of the pied pipers of RSA 2023 - unified platforms over multi-vendor security - IBM said QRadar Suite includes extended detection and response, or XDR, as well as security information and event management, and security orchestration, automation and response, or SOAR. It also includes a new cloud-native log management capability - all built around a common user interface, shared insights and connected workflows.

IBM said its QRadar SIEM has a new unified analyst interface that provides shared insights and workflows with broader security operations toolsets.

"In the face of a growing attack surface and shrinking attack timelines, speed and efficiency are fundamental to the success of resource-constrained security teams," said Mary O'Brien, general manager, IBM Security, in a statement.

"IBM has engineered the new QRadar Suite around a singular, modernized user experience, embedded with sophisticated AI and automation to maximize security analysts' productivity and accelerate their response across each step of the attack chain," she added.
