How do you see the emergence of AI in security and role of Cognitive SoC?
Traditional SOC rely primarily on prevention technologies, and rule and signature based detection mechanisms that require prior knowledge of attacker methods, both of which are insufficient to protect against current threats. Also there is a pressure on SOCs due to talent gap, retention, security alert overload, tools not tuned properly, slow to resolve incidents etc.
AI will help to overcome above challenges and will protect from existing security threats and help to identify known-unknown threats which in turn may help to reduce overall incident response time.

What is the kind of roadmap are you seeing with IBM security?
IBM security portfolio is covering many advance solutions like Resilient, Watson, UEBA etc. but these are not available in MSSP platform which is very much required in today’s security landscape so that comprehensive security solution can be offered via MSSP engagement.
Includes more predictive and automation technologies like SOAR, UEBA, incident Response, forensics.
