The partnership with IBM paves the way for more customers to benefit from next-gen SOC Innovation and AI-powered security solutions.
Dave Gruber, Principal Cybersecurity Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, “Vendors like Palo Alto Networks are delivering out-of-the-box, consolidated security operations capabilities, enabling security teams to rapidly accelerate improved outcomes while reducing complexity involved in managing a siloed security technology stack. As Palo Alto Networks completes the acquisition of the Q-Radar assets, Q-Radar customers will now have a simplified path to modernizing security operations with XSIAM.”
Palo Alto Networks has completed the acquisition of IBM’s QRadar Software as a Service (SaaS) assets. This transaction underscores Palo Alto Networks and IBM’s commitment to secure customers with best-in-class threat prevention, addressing ever-expanding attack surfaces with the complete platform approach that is required to simplify security operations.
Palo Alto Networks Precision AI-powered Cortex XSIAM platform centralizes data and security operations capabilities that include SIEM, SOAR, ASM and XDR into a single platform to drastically streamline security operations and prevent threats at scale. Together, Palo Alto Networks and IBM, as a preferred managed security services provider, will help global customers across industries seize the opportunity to seamlessly shift from QRadar to Cortex XSIAM with no-cost migration services through IBM Consulting for eligible customers.
The partnership between IBM and Palo Alto Networks aims to simplify organizations’ security operations and prevent threats at scale. In addition to Palo Alto Networks’ deployment of IBM solutions internally, including watsonx AI, to drive AI and automation capabilities, the partnership also leverages the expertise of the global IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services team to deliver advisory, integration and threat detection services to help organizations transform security into a business enabler. Further, Palo Alto Networks will deploy IBM solutions, including watsonx AI and data platform, to drive additional AI and automation capabilities.
