Key Findings

Criminal IP (criminalip.io) integrates with IBM QRadar SIEM and QRadar SOAR to deliver real-time threat intelligence.
The integration brings external, IP-based threat intelligence into QRadar's detection, investigation, and response workflows.
This enables security teams to identify malicious activity faster and prioritize response actions more effectively.

Background

IBM QRadar is a widely adopted SIEM and SOAR platform used by enterprises and public-sector organizations for security monitoring, automation, and incident response. By embedding Criminal IP intelligence into QRadar SIEM and extending it into SOAR workflows, organizations can apply external threat context across the incident lifecycle without leaving the QRadar environment.

Real-Time Threat Visibility from Firewall Traffic Logs

The Criminal IP QRadar SIEM integration allows security teams to analyze firewall traffic logs and automatically assess the risk associated with communicating IP addresses.
Observed IP addresses are classified into High, Medium, or Low risk levels based on threat intelligence.
This enables SOC teams to quickly identify high-risk IPs, monitor inbound and outbound traffic, and prioritize response actions within the QRadar SIEM workflow.

Interactive Investigation Without Leaving QRadar

The integration supports fast, in-context investigation, allowing analysts to right-click on IP addresses in QRadar Log Activity and open a detailed Criminal IP report.
These reports provide additional context, including threat indicators, historical behavior, and external exposure signals, enabling analysts to validate risk and intent without switching tools.
This streamlined workflow supports faster decision-making during time-sensitive investigations.

Extending Intelligence into QRadar SOAR Workflows

Criminal IP is integrated with IBM QRadar SOAR to support automated threat enrichment during incident response.
Pre-built playbooks can enrich IP address and URL artifacts with Criminal IP threat context, with the results returned directly into SOAR cases.
This integration helps analysts reduce manual lookups and respond to incidents more efficiently.

Advancing Intelligence-Driven Detection and Response

By integrating Criminal IP with IBM QRadar SIEM and SOAR, organizations can combine QRadar's correlation, investigation, and response capabilities with context-rich external threat intelligence.
This approach improves detection accuracy, shortens investigation cycles, and enhances response prioritization across SOC operations.
As alert volumes continue to grow, Criminal IP helps QRadar users make faster, more informed decisions by bringing external threat context directly into SIEM and SOAR workflows without adding operational complexity.
