SYRACUSE, N.Y. – AmeriCU Credit Union has implemented IBM’s new online security software, the QRadar Security Intelligence Platform.
The system, designed by Q1 Labs and acquired by IBM last fall, serves as a control center that integrates real-time security intelligence data to include more than 400 different sources.
“We chose the QRadar platform to build on and deliver our vision of a streamlined, highly intelligent platform to serve as our central nervous system for enterprise-wide monitoring,” said Ken Major, information security officer at AmeriCU.
Features include:
* Threat Intelligence – the company said intelligence from one of the world’s largest repositories of threat and vulnerability insights is planned to be available based on the real-time monitoring of 13 billion security events per day from the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Feed. This insight can flag behavior that may be associated with Advanced Persistent Threats, which may emanate from teams of attackers accessing networks through stealth means.
* Visibility into Enterprise Activity – the platform will unite events from IBM and non-IBM products that span four areas of organizational risk: infrastructure, people, applications and data.
* Pinpoint Analysis in an Age of Big Data – IBM said the platform can drill down to basic data elements to help analyze issues emanating from network access information at the periphery to database activity at the core of a business.
