IBM QRadar on Cloud is one of the industry's leading security intelligence and analytics offerings. A hosted, cloud-enabled service, this extensible solution continues to deliver improvements to its cloud offerings with a Professional services add-on and an expansion of data archive services.
As an IBM Cloud Service-based solution, the typical tasks and costs associated with acquiring, deploying, and managing hardware and software for on-premises SIEM solutions are not required. IBM installs and deploys QRadar SIEM software in the IBM SoftLayer cloud environment, and provides infrastructure management as well as 24 x 7 support. You can download and install enabling software (called a Data Gateway) to collect events from all supported log sources on premises or in the cloud. The enabling software forwards the collected events to the QRadar SIEM servers running in the IBM cloud, through a VPN tunnel, where the data is stored and managed. You can access the QRadar SIEM server from a web browser to perform security and threat management tasks.
As part of the service, IBM optimizes solution accessibility by continuously monitoring the health of the QRadar SIEM and rapidly resolving any infrastructure issues that may arise. IBM also provides upgrades, whenever available, to provide you with the newest features and up-to-date threat protections.
