Exabeam Leads the Future of SIEM Over QRadar and XSIAM

Transforming Security Operations in a Changing SIEM Landscape

The cybersecurity landscape experienced a significant shift with Palo Alto Networks’ acquisition of IBM QRadar SaaS assets. This move signals a pivotal moment as QRadar SaaS customers transition to the Cortex XSIAM platform. Industry experts view this transition as a major concession of SIEM to extended detection and response (XDR) technologies. However, this shift presents challenges for customers and opportunities for innovative solutions like Exabeam.

Challenges Facing QRadar Customers

Uncertainty in Future Investments

IBM plans to continue supporting on-premises QRadar users, but the long-term investment in these solutions remains unclear. QRadar SaaS customers now managed by Palo Alto must migrate to Cortex XSIAM. This migration demands careful planning and alignment with existing security infrastructures, creating uncertainty and complexity for many organizations.

Limitations in Detection and Response

QRadar’s reliance on static correlation rules, even with added machine learning (ML) capabilities, hampers its ability to detect behavioral anomalies. Subtle threats often go unnoticed, delaying responses and increasing risk. Additionally, QRadar generates excessive false alarms, overwhelming security teams and reducing their focus on genuine threats.

Adapting to XSIAM’s Capabilities

As Palo Alto promotes Cortex XSIAM, organizations face operational challenges. XSIAM’s focus on integrating Palo Alto products limits compatibility with third-party tools, leaving customers with less flexibility in their security ecosystem.

Why Exabeam Stands Out in the SIEM Market

• Advanced UEBA Capabilities: Exabeam delivers industry-leading User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), surpassing QRadar’s basic user behavior analytics (UBA).
• Reduced Alert Fatigue: Exabeam significantly reduces false positives by grouping detections based on anomalous behavior and rule triggers.
• Automated Threat Investigations: Unlike QRadar, Exabeam automates investigative workflows with centralized threat management tools.
• Scalable Cloud-Native Architecture: Exabeam’s cloud-native design eliminates the burden of managing local infrastructure.

Understanding XSIAM’s Shortcomings

• Incomplete Features: XSIAM’s functionalities, including log management and correlation, are still developing.
• Limited Third-Party Integration: XSIAM’s focus on Palo Alto products complicates integration with diverse security tools.
• Operational Inefficiencies: Data ingestion and normalization issues hinder its ability to generate accurate detections.

Exabeam: Proven Expertise and Leadership

With over a decade of experience, Exabeam is a trusted leader in the SIEM market. Recognized by Gartner as a leader for five consecutive years, Exabeam offers a comprehensive solution for SIEM and Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR).
