IBM Security QRadar SOAR Support Lifecycle

Product Lifecycle


Abstract

The Support Lifecycle for the On-premises IBM Security QRadar SOAR* products is outlined below.

Content

*IBM Resilient SOAR was renamed to IBM Security SOAR on Feb. 18, 2021, and as of December 7, 2021 is now renamed to IBM Security QRadar SOAR as part of our overall threat management portfolio rebranding.
NOTE: As of January 1, 2020, Python 2 officially reached end-of-life.  Beginning in Q2 2023, with our SaaS and On-Premise releases of IBM Security QRadar SOAR and IBM Cloud Pak for Security, the ability to create Python 2 scripts, including Python 2 email scripts, will be removed. Users will be required to utilize the Python 3 Scripting Engine. Beyond our Q3 2023 releases, there will be no IBM support available for Python 2.  
SOAR On-Premises Platform Lifecycle has a modified IBM Continuous Delivery (CD) Lifecycle Policy as follows:

Software Support - IBM Security QRadar SOAR On-premises offering will provide a minimum of twelve (12) full months standard support from the date the product Version was made generally available by IBM.
Customers current on Subscription & Support for Versions that have not reached end of support, can expect the following:
  • Defect support is available on the then current Version (i.e. V). If a defect is reported on an earlier Version, it must be confirmed to exist in V to be logged. Defect corrections are delivered as a patch update to the most current Resilient Version.
  • Remote problem analysis and assistance during normal country business hours in your time zone.
  • Assistance with identifying the failing product/component.
  • Assistance with remote problem determination and resolution.
  • Voice and electronic access support for code-related problems.
  • Support for routine, short duration installation and usage questions
  • 7 day, 24 hour support for mission critical emergencies (Severity 1)

End of Defect Support - that is the time after which no further Defect corrections will be made available. End of Defect Support notifications will be posted here. It is recommended that customers subscribe to 'My Notifications' to receive daily or weekly notifications of technical support information such as downloads, tips, technical notes, and publications. For more information, see Stay up to date with My Notifications
Please note: Defect corrections are delivered to the most current Version.

End of Support - that is the time after which no further technical support is available on a version of the product.
