Quoting:
"Forrester just published its first ever Security Analytics Wave. IBM Security is proud to hold a top right position, with the highest scores in solution strength and vision of all the evaluated products.
Forrester developed and applied a 36-criteria evaluation of security analytics (SA) providers and, as a result, identified the 11 top providers. Of those 11, IBM was rated as a leader in the evaluation."
(...)
"Security Analytics Deconstructed
SA can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but IBM believes it has to have a few core components, which are in lockstep with some of the components identified in the Forrester Security Analytics Wave. These components include user and entity behavior analytics, real-time and historical threat detection, big data capabilities, threat intelligence, and security automation and response."
