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

How red teaming helps safeguard the infrastructure behind AI models

4 min read - Artificial intelligence (AI) is now squarely on the frontlines of information security. However, as is often the case when the pace of technological innovation is very rapid, security often ends up being a secondary consideration. This is increasingly evident from the ad-hoc nature of many implementations, where organizations lack a clear strategy for responsible AI use.Attack surfaces aren’t just expanding due to risks and vulnerabilities in AI models themselves but also in the underlying infrastructure that supports them. Many foundation…

The straight and narrow — How to keep ML and AI training on track

3 min read - Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have entered the enterprise environment.According to the IBM AI in Action 2024 Report, two broad groups are onboarding AI: Leaders and learners. Leaders are seeing quantifiable results, with two-thirds reporting 25% (or greater) boosts to revenue growth. Learners, meanwhile, say they're following an AI roadmap (72%), but just 40% say their C-suite fully understands the value of AI investment.One thing they have in common? Challenges with data security. Despite their success with AI…

Will AI threaten the role of human creativity in cyber threat detection?

4 min read - Cybersecurity requires creativity and thinking outside the box. It’s why more organizations are looking at people with soft skills and coming from outside the tech industry to address the cyber skills gap. As the threat landscape becomes more complex and nation-state actors launch innovative cyberattacks against critical infrastructure, there is a need for cybersecurity professionals who can anticipate these attacks and develop creative preventive solutions.Of course, a lot of cybersecurity work is mundane and repetitive — monitoring logs, sniffing out…
