Palo Alto Networks has closed the deal to acquire IBM’s QRadar software-as-a-service security intelligence platform. Now that the deal is complete, existing QRadar customers will be moved, for no charge, to Palo Alto’s Cortex Extended Security Intelligence and Automation (XSIAM) platform, which is the vendor’s core extended detection and response (XDR) platform.
IBM is a preferred Palo Alto partner for Cortex XSIAM migrations, and IBM Consulting will handle the migration for eligible QRadar clients, letting customers retain their existing workflows and expertise, according to IBM.
