IBM’S WATSON SUPERCOMPUTER hardly needs any more resumé-padding. It’s already won Jeopardy, written a cookbook, and dabbled in revolutionizing healthcare. The next stop in its storied career? Tackling cybercrime. Globally, the damage from cyber attacks by criminals, terrorists, and hostile states is projected to exceed $2 trillion by 2019. According to a recent IBM report, the average organization sees over 200,000 pieces of security event data every single day. Watson is uniquely positioned to handle both the volume of information, and also discern the crucial context that determines what sort of threats exist. While a human security researcher might not have a firm command of all 75,000 known software vulnerabilities, or have read all 60,000 security-related blog posts that are written every month, Watson will. Since december 40 companies has relied on WATSONS cognitive power to help spot cybercrime.
