COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF IBM QRADAR AND WAZUH FOR SECURITY INFORMATION AND EVENT MANAGEMENT.

The objective of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis between two prominent SIEM tools: the commercial IBM QRadar SIEM and Wazuh, an open-source security solution. The chosen focal point was to assess the extent to which these tools can meet the security requirements within a typical IT infrastructure. The selection of this paper aimed to evaluate the efficacy of these tools in addressing the security needs prevalent in contemporary IT setups. The practical phase of the research was built around carefully curated scenarios that mirror the daily security incidents encountered by businesses. This deliberate choice was underpinned by the significance of understanding how QRadar and Wazuh interpret and respond to such events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
