ARMONK, N.Y., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
today announced that Gartner, Inc. has named IBM Security as a
leader in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) for the
seventh year in a row in the newly published Gartner Magic Quadrant
for SIEM.1 This news follows a recent Gartner report
listing IBM as the fastest growing vendor in the global security
software market based on 2014 revenue.2
SIEM plays a critical role in helping companies find and stop
security attacks earlier by analyzing data across an organizations
IT infrastructure in real-time to identify potential security
threats.
"We believe IBM's leadership in Gartner's SIEM report is a
reflection of the value our holistic, intelligence-driven security
approach brings to our clients," said Brendan Hannigan, General Manager, IBM
Security. "Now more than ever, organizations need advanced
behavioral analytics and built-in threat intelligence to detect and
stop cyberattacks."
IBM Security QRadar SIEM is a core component of IBM's approach
to security, built around powerful data analytics and leveraging
real-time input from the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence network.
These capabilities allow QRadar to analyze vast amounts of data and
accurately prioritize potential security events, separating real
threats from explainable anomalies.
For the second year in a row, IBM was positioned the furthest
for both completeness of vision and the ability to execute. On the
completeness of vision scale, Gartner analysts evaluated the
ability of vendors to understand buyers' wants and needs, and to
translate those into products and services. With regard to ability
to execute, Gartner evaluated on seven criteria, including customer
experience and market responsiveness.
Earlier this year, IBM Security brought the power of QRadar SIEM
to the cloud, launching new cloud-based software-as-a-service
delivery models that combine advanced monitoring and analytics with
the simplicity of a hosted deployment. IBM also provides customers
with the option to support these offerings through a platform of
managed security services, along with deep expertise amassed from
handling over 15 billion security events per day, for over 4,000
clients around the world.
The IBM Security QRadar portfolio provides an integrated
platform for security intelligence, spanning SIEM, log management,
anomaly detection, incident forensics and configuration and
vulnerability management. This approach helps improve ease of use
and enhances threat detection across organizations by reducing
individual products from multiple security vendors
3.
Advanced threat intelligence is also a key strength of IBM
Security QRadar, a capability growing in necessity as attackers
become increasingly sophisticated. To help fight the exploding
global issue of cybercrime, IBM recently launched IBM X-Force
Exchange, a new platform integrated with QRadar, which enables the
sharing of security threats and collaboration on threat
intelligence across the private sector.
