Cognitive analysis transforms data into insights and enables machines to efficiently handle unstructured data, continuously learning from both past and new information. It incorporates natural language processing (NLP) for enhanced communication and automated threat detection, prioritization, and remediation in security systems. SparkSecure, powered by IBM Watson, provides advanced threat research and analysis to improve the security teams' productivity and response times.

1. Like the human brain, Cognitive Analysis turns data into insight
Processes
Information
Draws
Conclusions
Codifies Instincts &
Experience into Learning
Enables machines to
penetrate the
complexity of data to
identify associations
Presents
powerful techniques
to handle unstructured
data
Continuously learns
not only from
previous insights, but
also for new data
entering the system
Provides NLP support
to enable human to
