IBM has introduced new generative AI capabilities within its managed Threat Detection and Response Services, aimed at enhancing and streamlining cybersecurity operations for its clients. The newly launched IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Assistant, built on the watsonx AI platform, is designed to accelerate the identification, investigation, and response to critical security threats.
This AI-powered assistant integrates advanced historical correlation analysis, and cross-correlating alerts from various sources such as SIEM, network, and EDR to provide a comprehensive threat management approach. It also features a generative AI conversational engine that offers real-time insights, automatically recommends actions, and improves alert investigation times, significantly boosting the efficiency of security operations centers.
IBM, a leading provider of global hybrid cloud, AI, and consulting services, continues to innovate in cybersecurity by integrating its AI technologies to address the growing complexity and volume of cyber threats. The Cybersecurity Assistant is expected to improve over time by continuously learning from previous investigations, thereby enabling security analysts to respond more proactively and precisely. As businesses face a shortage of security resources and an increase in risks, IBM’s advancements offer clients enhanced protection and more rapid threat resolution, underscoring the importance of AI in modern cybersecurity practices.
