Cybersecurity threats are growing at a record pace, with cyber crime such as hacks, breaches and malware attacks have become a way of life in this increasingly interconnected world. Cybercrime is projected to cause more than $6 trillion in damages by 2021, and businesses are estimated to invest $1 trillion over the next five years to try to mitigate these threats.
One breach alone can cost an enterprise hundreds of millions of dollars and destroy customer trust. Most breaches today are caused by “cyber blindness,” as there is no way to manually read and analyze the huge volumes of structured and unstructured data that security analysts need to process every single day.
The fact is, cyberwarfare is maturing and becoming increasingly sophisticated, with hackers adding artificial intelligence (AI) to their toolbox enabling them to automate attacks, cause more damage and steal more data faster than ever before.
AI and machine learning allow systems to continuously learn by constantly analyzing billions of data points to detect patterns and even predict attacks before they occur. IBM uses Watson’s AI to add a cyber threat insight engine to its leading cybersecurity platform, QRadar Security Analytics Platform, helping clients analyze threats up to 50% faster.
