Find below a new features in QRadar version 7.2.5 which was released for public 6th of June 2015
Domain segmentation
Domain segmentation introduced in the current version based on event and flow collectors, log sources, log source groups, flow sources, and custom properties. From now on, you can grant access to domains using security profiles and ensure domain restrictions comply with the entire QRadar system.
LDAP authorization
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) providers for authorization. QRadar reads user and role information from the LDAP server based on the defined authorization criteria. Moreover, you can configure QRadar to map entries from multiple LDAP repositories into a single virtual repository.
Centralized log file collection
Simultaneously collecting log files from all managed hosts directly to QRadar. Log files contain detailed deployment information, such as host names, IP addresses, and email addresses.
Improved SSH key management
Distributing SSH keys during deployment. During an upgrade to QRadar V7.2.5, the installer replaces the SSH keys that are currently on the managed hosts. Removing or altering the keys might disrupt communication between the QRadar Console and the managed hosts, which can result in lost data.
Master Console
Monitor one or multiple QRadar deployments with Master Console. You can use Master Console to view system notifications, event and flow rates, CPU usage by process, memory usage, and more working data.
System health
The feature of viewing all of your system notifications and other health information about your QRadar host in one place.
Deployment management
New management screens for adding managed hosts to your QRadar deployment. This new menu partly replaces the same options in the Deployment Editor, a Java-based client.
X-Force Exchange integration with QRadar
Use X-Force Exchange to collect and look up IP addresses and get more information on URLs that were identified by QRadar in events, rules, flows, and offenses. You can send any IP address that is displayed in QRadar to X-Force Exchange. You can also use URLs from events on the Log Activity tab.
Reporting enhancements
New feature: share reports with user groups. Now, add the report to a report group shared with everyone or a group shared only with users who have specific user roles and security profiles. Set a report confidentiality level, with a notification that appears in the report header and footer. Now, also add page numbers and create reports based on saved asset searches.
More advanced search options
Use the TEXT SEARCH operator to do full-text searches and find specific text in custom properties for events and flows. Use historical correlation when analyzing events loaded in bulk, testing new rules, and re-creating offenses that were lost or purged.
Ariel Query Language (AQL) lookup functions
In 7.2.5, the new AQL X-Force lookup functions are added to query X-Force IP address and URL categorizations. You can use the categorizations in query results or to filter events and flows.
