Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the future of cybersecurity. Security professionals need to mine not only structured information but also unstructured data, including human-generated content. Artificial intelligence enables IT teams to reason, learn and provide a context in real time beyond simple analytics patterns.

Armed with this collective insight, security analysts can respond to threats with increased speed, accuracy and confidence.

Mark Brosnan, Mary O’Brien, Anthony O’Callaghan and Ronan Murphy discuss how to stay ahead of the game in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.

This Panel Discussion about "Strengthening Security With Cognitive Analytics And Intelligent Integration" has been recorded at the Zero Day Con 2017, and it is reproduced here with the permission of ZDC, February 2018.

In this four-part course you learn the fundamental details of QRadar Advisor with Watson.

The first video provides background information about cognitive computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how QRadar Advisor with Watson fits into that space. Then the video explains how IBM Watson is used in cyber security and, specifically, in QRadar.

The second video explains typical responsibilities of the security analyst job role. Then, it explains how those security analysts can use QRadar Advisor with Watson to assist them in their threat analysis and investigation.

The third video describes standard terminology and the individual components of QRadar Advisor with Watson, and how they can be utilized.

Finally, a real-world use case demonstration of a user related investigation shows how QRadar Advisor with Watson is being used to shorten the investigation and response times when it really matters.

In this four-part video, we explain how QRadar Advisor with Watson can empower Security Analysts by reducing critical time for investigations and at the same time enriching the findings using the information discovered by Watson.

The first video describes three different investigation methods using QRadar Advisor:

• Manual
• Automatic
• Re-Investigation.

• Local
• Watson Insights
• Expanded Local Context
