Ariana: How do your solutions and products fulfill the demands of today's networks?
Mike: IBM's network intelligence and DPI solutions are designed to address the demands of today's networks by providing deep visibility into network traffic, enabling organizations to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time. Our solutions, such as QRadar Network Insights, leverage in-depth packet inspection to identify advanced threats and malicious content, extending QRadar's capabilities to detect a wide range of security issues.
