Impelix IMPACT Integration
with IBM QRadar

The Impelix IMPACT platform ingests telemetry from your all your security products as well as third-party feeds (threat intelligence, cybersecurity risk, business resilience intelligence, etc.) and delivers event correlation, security control efficacy, and compliance monitoring.

We believe that the more data ingested into IMPACT, the more context you will have regarding security incidents, which will allow effective and efficient incident response and compliance management. Therefore, we encourage and facilitate connecting vendor products telemetry with Impelix IMPACT platform.
