 Quickly identify Insider threats, malware, APT and other
abnormal behavior
 Simplify and reduce incident analysis effort through
automatic identification and relating of abnormal activities
 Uncover risks though automatic discovery and behavioral
profiling of devices, users, assets and applications
 Enable rapid time to value with automated security data
discovery and classification, and integrated network and end
point scanning
 Stay ahead of attacks with automatic updates of threats,
vulnerabilities and new security use cases on the IBM App

Today’s Challenges: Why are they so hard to solve?
Advanced Threats: greater
sophistication & improved stealth
Real-time threat detection lacks
the necessary security context
Real time visibility of network
context and numbers of false
positive alerts
• Threats hide in normal application
traffic, DNS, web, email, file transfers
• Malicious actors are stealthy, making
lateral movements and exfiltrate data
• Current logs & flows don’t provide
consistent visibility across the
threat lifecycle
• PCAP data is expensive primarily
used for post incident forensics
analysis
• Over-sensitive tools creating too
many false positives
• Lack of infrastructure and
communication context to improve
threat detection accuracy
Advanced threats | Phishing e-mails | Malware | Data exfiltration | Compliance gaps | DNS abuse

QRadar QNI – Completing the picture
• What is out there ?
• Who is talking to whom ?
• What files and data are being
exchanged ?
• Do they look malicious ?
• Do they contain any important or
sensitive data ?
• Is this malicious application use ?
• Is this new threat on my network ?
• If so, it where is it and what did it

Finds Insider Threats
Exposure to Insider Risk
“55% of all attacks were carried out by
malicious insiders or inadvertent inside actors.”
- IBM 2015 Cyber Security Intelligence Index
“Insider risk can be more than a threat to IT
systems or data loss – it can result in physical
harm or sabotage.”
- Carnegie Mellon SEI

Too much noise
Lack of important context and results in
security teams being plagued with false
positives. Identifying what assets, devices,

Managing social media risk
Social media is becoming a
favored tool for attacks
“160,000 Facebook pages are hacked a
day”
- New York Post
Social media is important but
risky for businesses
Whether threat actors use it for phishing, a
channel to distribute malware, or to gain
identity or passwords information, social media
usage (whether sanctioned or not) poses a
threat to businesses.
Personal use of social media can easily cross
boundaries that compromise your company’s
reputation, your assets and your customers.
Real-time contextual content analysis is key
for detect usage that has simply gone too far.
