Over the past year, our industry has seen an explosion in artificial intelligence and cognitive solutions to assist with some of the most challenging cybersecurity problems. In some cases, cognitive solutions can increase analytical capability by 50 percent.
With cognitive technology providing such high efficiencies for security teams, people often ask me wh
When we think of artificial intelligence (AI), we think of robots — machines that mimic human behavior or thought. This is partly the influence of comics, novels, movies and other pop culture tidbits, but the boundaries of AI have progressed far beyond this basic personification.
Originally defined by Alan Turing, AI initially referred to any machine that co
Malware is a major cause of cyberattacks today, with fraudsters using targeted spear phishing emails and social engineering to distribute malicious files to unsuspecting employees at various organizations. To make matters worse, malware has evolved to avoid detection by traditional security tools and systems.
Take the CozyDuke malware campaign as an example.
Picture this: You are the leader of a security operations center (SOC) and yet another major ransomware attack is making headlines. Within minutes of the news breaking, you receive questions about your company’s exposure to this ransomware. You’ve implemented your incident response plan and you’ve woken your team members from their beds.
The is the second article in a three-part series on how IBM Watson for Cyber Security can help analysts win the arms race against the increasingly sophisticated cybercrime landscape. Be sure to read part 1 for the full story.
Many large enterprises with significant investment in cybersecurity are excited at the prospect of cognitive security. But what abou
Because of the vast amount of data available and the fact that more is generated every day, the British scientist Thomas Young, who died in 1829, was known as “The Last Man Who Knew Everything.” Since that time, knowledge and available data has increased exponentially.
The Man Who Knew Everything
In 2010, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt noted that
This is the first article in a three-part series on how IBM Watson for Cyber Security can help analysts win the arms race against the increasingly sophisticated cybercrime landscape.
IBM’s latest and most glamorous offering in the security space is QRadar Advisor with Watson. This technology is designed to reduce the time taken to identify, classify an
“To function effectively in this knowledge economy, you need to read through trillions of data points. You basically need to go back to school every day to answer the questions that hit your desk. That is the challenge of the knowledge economy. And that is where I believe we can do something different in security with AI and cognitive.” — Marc va

When we first introduced IBM Watson to the security operations team at Smarttech, the analysts’ initial reaction was suspicion. Was this new partner there to make their lives easier or to take away their jobs?
The unease melted away within the first few weeks, however, as Watson not only earned their trust
Security analysts today are drowning in data. Even the most talented, knowledgeable and efficient analysts are overwhelmed with hundreds more alerts and anomalies than they can reasonably address, and the problem is only getting worse.
This is one of the main reasons why IBM recently announced the Cognitive Security Operations Center (SOC). An industry first
It’s no surprise that we have seen a nearly constant march toward a highly connected digital world. We are all witnesses to this accelerating digital evolution. It is happening right before our eyes — sometimes quite literally right in front of our eyes, with technologies such as cyber eyeglasses.
There is also a continuous stream of discourse on both
Не так давно в блоге IBM публиковалось несколько постов, в которых показывались возможности суперкомпьютера Watson и сферы практического применения этих возможностей. Вот первый пост по этой теме, а вот второй. И в первой, и во второй записи упоминался не только Watson, но и другие технологии корпорации, включая IBM Cloud. Сейчас мы хотим показать област
