The Smarttech Approach to Cybersecurity in the Cognitive Era -- Smarttech

We hear it every day on the news: malicious hackers trying to wage on systems and business networks stealing data that they can then sell on the dark web. The increasingly sophisticated attack methods make it harder and harder for cybersecurity specialists to keep up the pace. Artificial intelligence such as IBM Watson for Cybersecurity can change how information security specialists defend against cyberattacks. Cognitive computing can blend human-generated security knowledge with more traditional security data, enabling computers to learn from data in a similar way to humans. Cyber security in the form of cognitive has the potential to significantly reduce incident response times, optimise the precision of alerts and keep up-to-date with the latest threat research.
