This document discusses cognitive security solutions and their potential benefits. It notes that current security challenges include keeping up with the increasing speed, sophistication and volume of threats. Cognitive security solutions could help by ingesting and organizing vast amounts of security data to provide better intelligence, speed and accuracy. The document profiles organizations as "Primed", "Pressured" or "Prudent" based on their security effectiveness, understanding of cognitive benefits, and readiness. The "Primed" are most familiar with cognitive security and have the resources to adopt it. While still emerging, the document recommends organizations recognize weaknesses and become educated on cognitive security to prepare.

3. Entering the cognitive era of
security solutions
Cybersecurity is reaching an inflection point:
– Increasing numbers and sophistication of threats on track to surpass current
capabilities to address and mitigate them
– Volume of adverse events and incidents surpassing the capacity of most security
operations teams
– Financial costs and risks are growing rapidly
Security organizations need to leverage new capabilities to get ahead of the risks and
challenges
But with mounting skills and resource gaps, spending more and staffing up security
operations is getting harder and harder to do
What if?
– You could enhance the effectiveness of security operations with new tools that could
ingest and organize the threat landscape much more rapidly
– Systems could be taught how to bring better context to each threat and identify real
ones with greater accuracy
