COGNITIVE COMPUTING IN SECURITY WITH AIOUTTHINK THREATS WITH SECURITY THAT UNDERSTANDS, REASONS AND LEARNS

The Lifecycle of Security Intelligence
Is this really sustainable ?Too Much Data, Not Enough Resources
Threats Alerts Analystsavailable
Quick Insights : Current Security Status
Availabletime
”93% SOC Managers Not Able to Triage All Potential Threats”
“42 percent of cybersecurity professionals working at enterprise organizations claim that they ignore a ‘significant number of security alerts’”
“(31 percent) of organizations forced to ignore security alerts claim they ignore 50 percent or more security alerts because they can’t keep up with the overall volume”
Knowledgeneeded
Cognitive Security Study revealed three gaps to address
#2 most challenging area
today is optimizing accuracy alerts (too many false positives)
#3 most challenging area
due to insufficient resources is threat identification, monitoring and escalating potential incidents (61% selecting)
Speed gap
The top cybersecurity challenge today and tomorrow is reducing average incident response and resolution time
This is despite the fact that
80% said their incident
response speed is much faster than two years ago
Accuracy gapIntelligence gap
#1 most challenging area
due to insufficient resources is threat research (65% selecting)
#3 highest cybersecurity
challenge today is keeping current on new threats and vulnerabilities (40% selecting)
Addressing gaps while managing cost and ROI pressures
Todays reality
Review your security
incidents in a SIEM
Decide which incident
to focus on next
Review the data
(events / flows that
made up that incident)
Expand your search
to capture more data
around that incident
Pivot the data
multiple ways to find
outliers (such as
unusual domains, IPs,
file access)
Review the payload
outlying events for
anything interesting
(domains, MD5s, etc)
Search X-Force Exchange + Search
Engine + Virus Total + your favorite
tools for these outliers / indicators.
Find new Malware is at play
Get the name
of the Malware
Search more websites for information about
indicators of compromise (IOCs) for that Malware
Take these newly found IOCs from the internet
Take these newly found
IOCs from the internet
and search from them
back in a SIEM
Find other internal IPs
are potentially infected
with the same Malware.
Start another
investigation
around each of
these IPs.
Cognitive security provides the ability to unlock and action the potential in all data, internal and external, structured and unstructured.
It connects obscure data points humans couldn’t possibly spot, enabling enterprises to more quickly and accurately detect and respond to threats, becoming more knowledgeable through the cognitive power to understand, reason and learn.
Introducing and understanding Cognitive Security
Traditional
Security Data
A tremendous amount of security knowledge is created for
human consumption,
Examples include:
• Research documents
• Industry publications
• Forensic information
• Threat intelligence
commentary
• Conference presentations
• Analyst reports
• Webpages
• Wikis
• Blogs
• News sources
• Newsletters
• Tweets
A universe of security knowledge
Dark to your defensesTypical organizations leverage only 8% of this content*
Human Generated
Knowledge
• Security events and alerts
• Logs and configuration data
• User and network activity
• Threat and vulnerability feeds
but most of it is untapped
Human Expertise
Cognitive Security
Cognitive systems bridge this gap and unlock a new
partnership between security analysts and their technology
Security Analytics• Data correlation
• Pattern identification
• Anomaly detection
• Prioritization
• Data visualization
• Workflow
• Unstructured analysis
• Natural language
• Question and answer
• Machine learning
• Bias elimination
• Tradeoff analytics
• Common sense
• Morals
• Compassion
• Abstraction

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise.
Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks on others. No IT system or product
should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access. IBM systems, products and services are designed
to be part of a lawful, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT
