This event became necessary as the volume of threat data is exceeding the capacity of even the most skilled security professional and organizations are drowning in a sea of information that continues to grow rapidly as the threat landscape itself.
Advanced analytics and other software tools helps security analyst detect anomalies and determine high risk threats but the volume of information combined with the rate and sophistication of attacks has made it nearly impossible for any single analyst to keep up.These has resulted to a global shift towards Cognitive Security.
Cognitive Security involves training a new generation of cognitive systems to understand, reason and learn about constantly evolving security threats. Building security instincts and expertise into new defenses that analyses research reports, web texts, threat data and other structured and unstructured relevant data.
