IBM Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management

IBM Security QRadar conducts behavioral analysis of an organization's business processes and applications to help determine if potential security-related events are simple anomalies or potential threats -- all with small rates of false positives limiting the need for Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) teams to deploy unnecessary resources.   

Unlike traditional SIEM, IBM Security QRadar also provides log management, anomaly detection, incident forensics, configuration and vulnerability management capabilities. It also fully integrates with IBM's Big Data and Analytics platform.

Gartner estimates, "SIEM is a $1.5 billion market that grew 16% during 2013 — with an expected growth rate of 12.4% during 2014."  In the overall security software market, IBM has experienced six straight quarters of double digit growth fueled by a significant investment in organic development and the acquisition of companies, including Q1 Labs, Trusteer, Guardium, Ounce Labs, Watchfire and Fiberlink/MaaS360.
