  • IBM Highlights Critical Security Vulnerabilities with New Tool

    August 13, 2013 Alex Woodie

    IBM last month announced QRadar Vulnerability Manager (QVM), a new tool designed to give time-crunched administrators a simple and easy way to identify the most dangerous security vulnerabilities that exist in their IT systems.

    QVM is like a security triage system for overworked administrators. The software automatically collects data from multiple network, endpoint, database, and application scanners; correlates it with actual use information from the QRadar SIEM (security information and event management); identifies the vulnerabilities that pose the highest threat of actually being exploited; and presents all this information in an easy-to-read dashboard interface.

    Speed is the big advantage of this approach, because identifying which vulnerabilities pose the greatest threat can be a difficult and time-consuming task. According to IBM’s X-Force security consulting and research arm, there are more than 70,000 vulnerabilities in existence today, with more than a dozen new ones discovered every day.

    IBM says an organization may have tens of thousands of vulnerabilities hidden in its IT systems and networks. But not all vulnerabilities are equal. In fact, the same security vulnerability may pose a higher level of risk to one organization than it does to another.

    “Security Intelligence is about putting all the available data into context, and making it useful for each client’s unique security needs,” said Brendan Hannigan, general manager of IBM’s Security Systems Division. “We have relentlessly expanded QRadar’s capabilities, and tight integration of vulnerability management is the next natural extension.”

    QVM is fully integrated into the QRadar product family, which IBM obtained with its acquisition of Q1 Labs in 2011. IBM doesn’t say in its marketing materials whether QVM supports IBM i or not. But considering that Q1 Labs added support for IBM i in 2010, it’s likely that the connection is there.

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
