IBM Security QRadar SIEM + D3 Smart SOAR
Unified Detection, Analysis, and Response
IBM Security QRadar SIEM detects security offenses from across the organization. Smart SOAR acts as a unified dashboard for analysis and investigation of IBM Security QRadar SIEM offenses, enriching alerts with IBM X-Force threat intelligence, correlated MITRE ATT&CK matrix techniques, and historical incident data.
Benefits and Capabilities
D3’s integration team takes the burden of integrations off your hands by building, maintaining, and upgrading the best possible connections between tools. We have studied QRadar’s APIs and capabilities closely in order to provide a joint solution that surpasses IBM’s native SOAR integration. Benefits include:
- Automated enrichment from IBM X-Force and other threat intelligence sources
- Fast and consistent response to QRadar offenses with Smart SOAR’s automated playbooks
- Increased speed and quality of triage, via Smart SOAR’s Event Pipeline
- Orchestrated enrichment and response across hundreds of other integrated tools

Offense Escalation and Response
By combining IBM Security QRadar SIEM for threat detection with D3 Smart SOAR for incident enrichment and response, you can automatically escalate real threats to incident status in Smart SOAR and assess their criticality through data enrichment—including IBM X-Force threat intelligence—and MITRE ATT&CK matrix correlation. Smart SOAR can then trigger an automated response playbook that acts across the entire stack.
- Coordinate the entire incident lifecycle from Smart SOAR
- Respond with incident-specific playbooks
- Filter out false positives, escalating only genuine threats
Use Case
Improved Investigations through Contextual Link Analysis
Once a QRadar SIEM offense has been escalated, Smart SOAR can correlate IOCs—such as source IP/domains, destination IP/domains, file hashes, etc.— and MITRE ATT&CK techniques against threat intelligence, historical incident data, and potential traces of a larger kill chain, painting a complete picture of the threat. An intuitive link analysis dashboard provides analysts with the dexterity and visualizations needed for complex investigations.
- Track complex investigations easily from a dynamic interface.
- Uncover links across time, artifacts, tools, and TTPs.
- Orchestrate threat hunting playbooks to reveal the extent of attacks.
