AI for cybersecurity
As cyberattacks grow in volume and complexity, artificial intelligence (AI) is helping under-resourced security operations analysts stay ahead of threats. Curating threat intelligence from millions of research papers, blogs and news stories, AI provides instant insights to help you fight through the noise of thousands of daily alerts, drastically reducing response times.
Watch the video to hear Kevin Skapinetz, IBM Security vice president of strategy and design, explain how advanced AI can act as an advisor to analysts, helping them quickly identify and connect the dots between threats.
How AI helps cybersecurity
AI technologies like machine learning and natural language processing enable analysts to respond to threats with greater confidence and speed

Learn
AI is trained by consuming billions of data artifacts from both structured and unstructured sources, such as blogs and news stories. Through machine learning and deep learning techniques, the AI improves its knowledge to “understand” cybersecurity threats and cyber risk.

Reason
AI gathers insights and uses reasoning to identify the relationships between threats, such as malicious files, suspicious IP addresses or insiders. This analysis takes seconds or minutes, allowing security analysts to respond to threats up to 60 times faster.

Augment
AI eliminates time-consuming research tasks and provides curated analysis of risks, reducing the amount of time security analysts take to make the critical decisions and launch an orchestrated response to remediate the threat.
Cognitive security: Smarter, better
Cognitive security combines the strengths of artificial intelligence and human intelligence. Cognitive AI learns with each interaction to proactively detect and analyze threats, providing actionable insights to security analysts for making informed decisions — with speed and accuracy.
Cognitive security with Watson
Cognitive computing, an advanced type of artificial intelligences, leverages various forms of AI, including machine-learning algorithms and deep-learning networks, that get stronger and smarter over time. Watson™ for Cyber Security, IBM’s cognitive AI, learns with each interaction to connect the dots between threats and provide actionable insights. The result: You can respond to threats with greater confidence and speed.
