Security in a modern enterprise is a complicated multi-headed beast. Many organizations have multiple layers of tools to keep the beast at bay by detecting vulnerabilities, but few have tools to manage the entire process.

Steve Robinson, vice president, Security Development, Product Management and Strategy at IBM, explained that QRadar’s base is a security information and event management (SIEM) platform that IBM gained in its late 2011 acquisition of Q1, the vendor behind QRadar. IBM has since reformed its IBM Security Systems operations around QRadar’s technology.
