Organizations are under increasing pressure to prevent security breaches by sophisticated teams that seek to steal sensitive data or other proprietary information—attacks that potentially put the organization, its employees or its customers at great risk – by taking advantage of insufficient and disconnected security technologies.

Not every major threat in the news is applicable to your organization. You need to understand what vulnerability poses the greatest threat to your organization and remediate the most critical one first. There may be a lesser known vulnerability that is lower on your priority list that poses a greater risk than the one you heard about in the news.

The seamless integration of IBM BigFix and QRadar helps you accelerate risk prioritization and incident response. The intelligent BigFix agent that sits on every endpoint provides QRadar with the most current patch status of all endpoints, allowing QRadar to narrow its focus on vulnerabilities that are unpatched.

QRadar then correlates thousands of network events along with real-time endpoint intelligence from BigFix to prioritize vulnerabilities with a risk score indicating the most critical ones that need immediate attention. Using the automated patching capability in BigFix, IT teams can take remediation action across all affected endpoints within minutes all through a single console that provides shared visibility and control across your security and operations teams. BigFix also, automatically quarantines non-compliant endpoints until remediation is complete.
