Reference of integration between BMC Helix ITSM and IBM QRadar SIEM by using BMC Helix iPaaS

You can integrate BMC Helix ITSM with IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to create BMC Helix ITSM incidents from IBM QRadar offenses. The integration helps your agents to track and remediate security threats to your organization.

BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker, along with BMC Helix iPaaS, powered by Jitterbit, provides the Create_BMC_Helix_ITSM_incident_from_IBM_QRadar_offense.json integration template that you can use to integrate BMC Helix ITSM with IBM QRadar. You configure the integration in BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker and deploy the template to your BMC Helix iPaaS environment.
