About QRadar

QRadar is IBM’s security information and event management (SIEM) platform that collects, correlates, and analyses security data from across your IT infrastructure. The n8n QRadar node connects your SIEM data to automated workflows — letting you pull offences, search events, manage reference sets, and trigger response actions without manually navigating the QRadar console.

SIEM platforms generate an overwhelming volume of security events. QRadar does an excellent job correlating those events into actionable offences, but the steps between detecting an offence and responding to it are still largely manual in most organisations. An analyst sees the alert, opens QRadar, investigates the details, copies indicators into other tools, creates a ticket, and notifies the team. Each of those steps takes time that matters during an active incident.

The n8n QRadar node automates those manual steps. You can build workflows that pull new offences on a schedule or via webhook, enrich them with external threat intelligence, create investigation tickets automatically, notify the right team members, and even trigger containment actions in other security tools — all within seconds of the offence being created.

Osher Digital builds security automation and system integration workflows for Australian businesses. If your SOC team is spending too much time on manual triage and wants to accelerate incident response with n8n and QRadar, our business automation team can design and implement the right workflows for your security operations.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement QRadar

Step 1

Generate a QRadar API Token

In your QRadar console, navigate to Admin > Authorised Services and create a new API token. Assign the token a security profile with permissions matching your automation needs — offence management, event queries, and reference set access at minimum.

Step 2

Configure n8n Credentials

Add the QRadar credentials in n8n by entering the API token and your QRadar console URL. Ensure your n8n instance has network access to the QRadar API endpoint, which may require firewall rules or VPN configuration.

Step 3

Define Your SIEM Automation Workflow

Map out the workflow trigger and actions. Common patterns include polling for new offences on a schedule, webhook-triggered investigation workflows, or scheduled AQL queries for compliance reporting.

Step 4

Add the QRadar Node

Place the node in your workflow and configure the operation — get offences, run AQL search, manage reference sets, or retrieve offence details. Map dynamic parameters from upstream nodes into the query fields.

Step 5

Build Triage and Response Logic

Add conditional routing based on offence severity, magnitude, or category. High-severity offences can trigger immediate notification and containment workflows, while lower-priority ones route to a standard investigation queue.

Step 6

Test with Historical Offences

Run the workflow against existing QRadar offences to validate that queries return expected results, enrichment works correctly, and response actions fire appropriately. Confirm ticket creation, notifications, and any reference set updates before going live.
