It's no secret that the frequency and intensity of credit card and identity theft is on the rise. A quick glance at the major headlines these days reveals that there are major blind spots in the security infrastructures of retailers, merchants, and banks. These blind spots are now resulting in compromised customer and consumer data.

Visibility, alerting and reporting are three key disciplines that a monitoring platform must bring to any regulated environment.

Join SANS and Q1 Labs for this complimentary 45-minute webcast and learn about the key monitoring requirements and best practices that should be included in your approach to meeting the PCI standard and its requirements.

From humble beginnings, NetFlow has today become a commonly used network monitoring tool. Alone, NetFlow analysis provides powerful management capabilities. When combined with security information and event management systems (SIMs) and correlated with data from other devices and layers, NetFlow becomes indispensable.

In an independent test conducted by The Tolly Group, one of the most influential testing validation firms in North America, QRadar 5.2 proved to be a superior alternative to Cisco Security MARS 4.2.1 for detecting, correlating, and responding to threats in converging network and security environments

Due to budget constraints and limited resources, the network and security teams within a typical SMB are often one and the same. In many cases, the ‘team’ consists of a single person to manage and monitor both the network and security infrastructure. Lack of resources combined with more distributed networks means that administrators are being bombarded with logs and information that is hard to collect and make sense of manually. On top of this, new policy and audit requirements like PCI are adding another layer of complexity for the already overburdened SMB administrator.

  To find out what had happened to the system, Tumas and his team turned to QRadar, a security monitoring system sold by Q1 Labs. QRadar monitors multiple sources of information, including packet traces, network flows and security events; builds a model of the network; uses the real-time information to update the model; and archives information as necessary to permit event reconstruction at some future time.
