QRADAR

The intelligent SIEM solution

QRadar in a few words…

IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) helps security teams to accurately detect and prioritize threats across the enterprise.
QRadar provides Cyber Security teams with intelligent lighting enabling them to react quickly to an incident or threat.
In addition to consolidate logging events and network flow data from thousands of devices, QRadar correlates all this information and aggregates related events into single alerts to accelerate problem analysis and resolution.

Abakus Sécurité – IBM GOLD partner – is an expert in the areas of “Threat Management” and “Digital Trust” and allows you to make the best use of the intelligence of IBM QRadar to help you resist possible security threats and data breaches.

2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM Systems

We consider human interactions to be very important. This is why the first step is to present our approach followed by a few interviews to better understand your expectations.

Integration & deployment

Exceptionally, we have the “Proficiency in QRadar SIEM Deployment” certification.
This certification is awarded by an IBM World Expert Jury after submission and validation of a successful deployment accompanied by a customer testimonial.
This guarantees the quality of our services and allows us to display our expertise to plan, install, configure, optimize, adjust, debug and operate the system of an IBM QRadar SIEM deployment. Our approach is divided into 3 main steps:

  • Workshops (network hierarchy, assets, dashboard – Pulse, report, methodology use cases)
  • Integration (installation, deployment, logs, use cases, governance, performance)
  • Validation (software infrastructure)

It also demonstrates that we have practical field experience to successfully implement an IBM QRadar SIEM deployment.
