The assistant will also recommend actions based on the historical patterns of analyzed activity and pre-set confidence levels, which can help to speed response times for clients and reduce attackers’ time to infiltrate an system. The Cybersecurity Assistant will continue to learn from investigations, which will further boost speed and accuracy going forward, according to IBM.
The idea is to help enterprise customers get a handle on the myriad vulnerabilities, alerts and security tools they have to deal with on a daily basis. By using AI and other analytics capabilities, IBM’s managed TDR services can automate away the noise and let IT teams focus on escalating critical threats to the business, IBM stated.
“By enhancing our Threat Detection and Response services with generative AI, we can reduce manual investigations and operational tasks for security analysts, empowering them to respond more proactively and precisely to critical threats, and helping to improve overall security posture for clients,” said Mark Hughes, global managing partner of cybersecurity services with IBM Consulting, in a statement.
