Reference of integration between BMC Helix ITSM and IBM QRadar by using BMC Helix Integration Service


BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker provides out-of-the-box mappings and application level configurations so you can create incidents in BMC Helix ITSM from IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to address such security challenges. To establish integration with IBM QRadar SIEM, you configure the following connectors, flows, and connector targets. You must set up tenant-level configurations.

After you complete the integration, your users can use features, for example, the creation of incidents in BMC Helix ITSM when a QRadar offense is created. Each flow in the list of flows is essentially a feature that you can use. Depending upon your use case, you might have to configure multiple flows. BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker logically chains the flows and connector processes to complete the feature.

List of connectors for integration with QRadar SIEM

You must configure the following connectors when setting up integration with QRadar SIEM. These connectors are integration points for the respective applications. For instance, to send the data from BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker to QRadar SIEM, you must configure a flow from the Multi-Cloud connector to the IBM QRadar connector.

List of connector targets for integration with QRadar SIEM

When a ticket is brokered from any vendor to BMC Helix ITSM, the ticket data first comes in BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker before being sent to BMC Helix ITSM. To send the data from BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker to BMC Helix ITSM, you must configure the BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker ITSM connector target and set it in the Connector Process ITSM.

MCSM ITSM

For the MCSM ITSM connector target, define the connection configuration and profile required by the connector process.
