What might cybersecurity look like in the cognitive era? IBM recently conducted a survey of more than 700 security professionals, leaders and practitioners from 35 countries to get a sense of the toughest challenges they are facing, how these challenges are being confronted and whether cognitive security solutions are being considered as a potential and powerful new tool.

For insights and analysis from this survey, read “Cybersecurity in the Cognitive Era: Priming Your Digital Immune System.” Topics examined in the study include:

  • Security challenges, shortcomings and what security leaders are doing about them
  • Views on cognitive security solutions, including how they might help, readiness to implement and what might be holding them back
  • What those that are ready to implement cognitive-enabled security today are thinking and doing
