  • Everbridge to demo IBM QRadar and IBM Resilient integrations at 2019 RSA Conference

SAN FRANCISCO--()--RSA Conference – Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), a global leader in critical event management and IT incident response automation to keep businesses running, today announced the integration of IT Alerting with IBM security intelligence technology to enable joint customers to automate communications, collaboration, and orchestration tasks to streamline the overall information security incident response process.

Information security incidents (e.g. cyberattacks, intrusions, data breaches, ransomware, DDOS attacks, etc.) are on the rise across all verticals and impact the ability of companies to run their business operations and protect their sensitive data. For most businesses, it’s not ‘if’ they will be impacted by information security incidents but ‘when’ and how widely. When these service disruptions occur, IT organizations need to respond immediately to investigate, take the proper actions in order to contain the incident, and restore services as quickly as possible.

The Everbridge IT Alerting integration for the IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform helps InfoSec teams to automatically identify the required IT personnel and engage with them in a matter of minutes, wherever they might be. Everbridge’s enterprise-scale IT Alerting enables clients to execute consistent, predictable, repeatable processes for fast action with communications that are context-meaningful to responders and stakeholders alike.

Everbridge IT Alerting leverages IBM QRadar, the company’s security intelligence platform which analyzes data across an organization’s IT infrastructure in real-time to identify potential security threats. Leveraging QRadar’s open application programming interfaces (API), IT Alerting provides security teams with the ability to automatically or manually launch an Everbridge incident when an offense is generated in IBM QRadar. Everbridge and IBM customers will be able to leverage comprehensive security information and event management (SIEM), log management, anomaly detection, network analysis, user behavior analytics, and vulnerability management to analyze data in real-time across an organization’s enterprise IT infrastructure to detect and prioritize potential security threats. The integration produces a common unified view and response process across service, operations, security, DevOps, and IT BC/DR. Everbridge IT Alerting provides IT workforce on-call schedule management, multi-modal targeted notifications, automated escalation, 1-click smart conferencing, 1-click ChatOps channel, automated remediation workflow execution, to help to engage the right staff and resolve the offenses generated in IBM QRadar faster.

In addition, Everbridge’s integration with the IBM Resilient Incident Response Platform enables security analysts to intelligently collaborate with stakeholders during the incident response process. The IT Alerting integration for IBM Resilient helps teams achieve more consistent, predictable and shorter incident resolution times by enabling security teams to communicate with stakeholders within workflows. Using bi-directional communications, a user can remotely control the advancement or execution of any step within a process, such as re-starting a server. Remote communications can be performed via SMS, IM, email, or phone.

“These powerful product integrations create a comprehensive 360-degree view for customers in managing security and IT operations across their enterprise,” said Vick Vaishnavi, General Manager, IT Alerting Business at Everbridge. “Combining Everbridge’s communication, collaboration, and smart orchestration capabilities with the unique security intelligence of IBM QRadar and the advantages of the IBM Resilient platform, joint customers can benefit from an increased security posture by leveraging a single system for threat intelligence and automated IT response and alerting.”

The Everbridge IT Alerting integration for QRadar is available to the security community through IBM Security App Exchange, a community where developers across the industry can share applications based on IBM Security technologies. As threats are evolving faster than ever, collaborative development amongst the security community will help organizations adapt quickly and speed innovation in the fight against cybercrime.
