Big Changes in SIEM: Updates on QRadar on Cloud, LogRhythm, and Exabeam

There was big news in the cybersecurity industry last week, as two major deals have been announced that will affect the landscape of security information and event management (SIEM) platforms.

As your trusted security partner, Arraya Solutions is committed to keeping our customers informed and supported during these changes. In this blog post, we will provide an overview of what’s happening and what it means for you.

IBM sells QRadar on Cloud to Palo Alto

IBM is selling QRadar on Cloud, a leading SIEM platform, to Palo Alto Networks, a leader in cybersecurity solutions. The sale will transfer QRadar on Cloud’s assets, including its software, services, and customer contracts, to Palo Alto Networks.

The deal, which is expected to close by the end of this year, will enable Palo Alto Networks to expand its cloud-native security offerings and integrate QRadar on Cloud’s capabilities into its Cortex XDR platform.

Merger of SIEM Rivals LogRhythm & Exabeam

The next deal is the merger of LogRhythm and Exabeam, two rival SIEM vendors that are both owned by private equity firm Thoma Bravo. The merger will create a combined entity that will operate under the Exabeam brand and offer a unified SIEM platform.

This merger is a significant move in the SIEM market as it will give LogRhythm and Exabeam access to each other’s technology and expertise, making Exabeam a more competitive player that can challenge the dominance of Splunk and IBM. The combined company will have more resources, customers, and partners to drive innovation and growth in the SIEM space.
