What could cybersecurity look like in the cognitive era? Organizations are facing a number of well-known security challenges and these challenges are leading to gaps in intelligence, speed, and accuracy when it comes to threats and incidents. The gaps can’t be addressed by simply scaling up legacy processes and infrastructure – new approaches are needed, and cognitive security solutions may help address these gaps. IBM conducted a survey of over 700 security professionals leaders and practitioners from 35 countries, representing 18 industries to get a sense for what challenges they are facing, how they are being addressed, and how they view cognitive security solutions as a potential powerful new tool.
Join us as Diana Kelley, Executive Security Advisor in IBM Security, and David Jarvis, Functional Research Lead for CIO and Cybersecurity in the IBM Institute for Business Value, discuss findings from the 2016 Cybersecurity Study “Cybersecurity in the Cognitive Era: Priming Your Digital Immune System” This webinar will cover an overview of the study findings, including:
Security challenges, shortcomings and what security leaders are doing about them
Views on cognitive security solutions – 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

3. Entering the cognitive era of
security solutions
Cybersecurity is reaching an inflection point:
– Increasing numbers and sophistication of threats on track to surpass current
capabilities to address and mitigate them
– Volume of adverse events and incidents surpassing the capacity of most security
operations teams
– Financial costs and risks are growing rapidly
Security organizations need to leverage new capabilities to get ahead of the risks and
challenges
But with mounting skills and resource gaps, spending more and staffing up security
operations is getting harder and harder to do
What if?
– You could enhance the effectiveness of security operations with new tools that could
ingest and organize the threat landscape much more rapidly
– Systems could be taught how to bring better context to each threat and identify real
ones with greater accuracy
