From global energy companies to regional utilities, QRadar helps you protect your critical infrastructure:

Protecting critical energy and utility infrastructures, including legacy supervisory control & data acquisition (SCADA) systems, from existing and emerging complex threats is an ongoing battle for security operators.  Demonstrating compliance with the growing array of audit and regulatory requirements including North American Electric Reliability Corp (NERC), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), as well as emerging utility-centric initiatives such as Smart Grid is an overwhelming task for network and security teams.

Q1 Labs' QRadar security information and event management (SIEM) solution has successfully addressed these challenges for energy and utilities organizations by offering the most intelligent, integrated and automated security management solution in the industry. From global energy companies to regional utilities, QRadar helps you protect your critical infrastructure.
