QRadar

This is a combined document for enabling the Dropzone AI Data Source and Alert Source for QRadar.

QRadar is an SIEM integration. SIEM integrations are used to perform analysis of any SIEM generated alerts, and/or to use generated data as part of investigation analysis.

The Dropzone platform integrates with the IBM QRadar security SIEM. Many customers ingest other alert sources into QRadar (e.g. IDPs) and integrate Dropzone into QRadar rather than the source systems.

Create an API Key

QRadar requires an API key to enable.

To obtain an API Key, do the following:

  • In the upper bar in the QRadar Homepage, click "Admin"

Navigate to Admin
  • In the left hand bar, navigate to System Configuration > User Management

Navigate to User Management
  • Click on "Authorized Services"

Click on "Authorized Services"
  • In the window that pops up, click "Add"

Click "Add"
  • Under "Authorized Service Label," label the key something memorable, such as "dropzone_ai"

  • Select an Admin security profile

  • Under "User Role, select "All"

  • Under "Expiry Settings," assign an expiration date if you choose

For conveniences sake, we recommend not assigning an expiration date for this API key, to prevent having to create a new one.

* Click "Save"

Fill out token details
  • Store the authorized service token in a safe location for use later in the Dropzone UI where it will be called "API-Key"

Copy the API-Key
