80% of the world’s data has been invisible to traditional systems. Until now.

The best security professionals build their body of knowledge every day through experience, talking with colleagues, attending conferences and staying up to date with online sources like blogs, research papers, and publications. But people can only consume and make sense of a fraction of this data and much of it is unstructured – created by humans, for humans – making it inaccessible to traditional systems. As a result, most data remains untapped and dark to an organization’s defenses.

Watson for Cyber Security

Watson for Cyber Security shines a light on the data that has previously been hidden from organizational defenses — uncovering new insights, patterns and security context never before seen. Think about the 75,000+ documented software vulnerabilities, 10,000+ security research papers published each year and 60,000+ security blogs published each month. What’s possible now is the ability to quickly interpret this data — created by humans, for humans — and integrate it with structured data from countless sources and locations.

 

The result: Watson will arm security analysts with the collective knowledge to respond to threats with greater confidence, at speed and scale.

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…
