Case Studies
Protecting Critical Airport Operations with IBM Security QRadar EDR
A major international airport leveraged IBM Security QRadar® EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) to detect, analyze, and remediate malware threats across its hybrid IT infrastructure without disrupting operations. With over 1,000 daily flights and 70 million annual passengers, the airport required a robust cybersecurity solution capable of identifying sophisticated attacks in real time while maintaining continuous operational uptime.
Business challenge
As one of the world’s busiest airports, the organization faced constant cyber threats targeting its critical IT and operational systems. With thousands of connected devices and networks managing logistics, passenger processing, and flight operations, even a minor disruption could lead to major service interruptions.
The airport needed to:
- Strengthen its endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities.
- Prevent, isolate, and remediate advanced malware attacks in real time.
- Gain complete visibility across distributed systems and endpoints.
- Protect airport operations without impacting performance or uptime.
Solution
To enhance its cybersecurity posture, the airport deployed IBM Security QRadar EDR, a next-generation endpoint protection platform powered by AI-driven threat detection and automation. The solution continuously monitored endpoints across operational and IT environments to detect malicious behavior patterns before they could cause disruption.
Using QRadar EDR’s real-time visibility, the airport’s security team was able to detect suspicious network activity linked to malware infiltration, analyze the threat, and initiate automated remediation — all without interrupting airport operations.
