Modified on Tue, 4 Jun at 3:54 PM

IBM QRadar is a network security management platform that provides situational awareness and compliance support. It combines flow-based network knowledge, security event correlation, and asset-based vulnerability assessment to deliver comprehensive security insights. By integrating QRadar with CloudDefense.ai, you can monitor and analyze vulnerabilities across your applications seamlessly.


Setting Up IBM QRadar Integration


Obtain the API Key from CloudDefense.ai:

  • Log in to CloudDefense.ai and navigate to Profile Management.

  • Copy your API key from the Profile Management page.


Open Dashboard Designer in QRadar:

  • In your IBM QRadar platform, open the Dashboard Designer.


Add a Connector Source:

  • In the navigation pane, go to Connector & Sources > Connector Sources.
