Giving cyber security a voice: IBM's Watson - Information Age

Watson, IBM's AI supercomputer, now has the ability to investigate security events and create new services for building cognitive security operation centres. And it now has the capability to allow customers and analysts to interact with Watson through voice and chat regarding cyber security concerns. According to IBM, Watson can now help security analysts parse thousands of natural language research reports that have never before been accessible to modern security tools. For the past year, Watson has been trained on the language of cyber security with over one million security documents, and has been tested with over 40 clients and channel partners including the Ireland based partner Smarttech and Avnet. IBM claims it is the industry's first augmented intelligence technology designed to power cognitive security operations centers (SOCs).
