Efficiently respond to compliance-driven
IT security requirements:

Responding to compliance-driven IT security requirements placed on your organization by management, third-party consultants, or internal and external auditors typically involve demonstrating and reporting of specific security controls that align with internal corporate policies or external government regulations that are specific to your industry or type of business such as HIPAA for healthcare providers, GLBA for financial organizations, PCI for retail companies and FISMA for government entities.

Recognizing that compliance with a policy or regulation often works on a sliding scale, Gartner and others assert that demonstration of, or support for, compliance should involve these three key factors:

• Accountability: Accurate surveillance to report on who did what and when
• Transparency: Providing visibility into the security controls, the business applications and the assets that are being protected
• Measurability: Metrics and reporting around IT risks within a company.

Compliance automation that drives
policy verification and reporting:

QRadar brings the transparency, accountability and measurability critical to the success of meeting regulatory mandates and reporting on compliance. QRadar's unique correlation and integration of all surveillance feeds yields more accurate data for an operator (Transparency), more granular forensics for an incident response manager (Accountability), and more complete reporting for auditors (Measurability). Additionally, QRadar ships with over 3,500 reports and rules templates to address your industry compliance requirements.

QRadar's automation of device discovery and data collection is continuously identifying and profiling assets, both passively and actively, and tunes the security system based on changes in services, vulnerabilities, systems, and identity. This automated updating of your security management posture reduces false positives and provides identification of noncompliance risks in your network. In addition, QRadar also builds profiles of all the assets on the network that can and should be grouped by business function (e.g. servers that are subject to HIPAA compliance audits).
