New Generative AI-Powered Cybersecurity Assistant for IBM’s Threat Detection and Response Services
IBM just announced generative AI capabilities for its managed Threat Detection and Response Services to advance and streamline security operations for clients. With IBM’s watsonx data and AI platform as a foundation, the new technology will accelerate and improve the identification, investigation, and response to critical security threats. It will also become part of IBM Consulting Advantage, the AI services empowering IBM consultants to deliver consistency, repeatability, quality, and speed.
Today, there are just too many attacks. With generative AI, IBM can reduce manual investigations and operational tasks for security analysts so that they can respond more proactively and precisely to critical threats. By combining existing AI and automation capabilities with the new generative AI technologies, IBM’s global security analysts will reduce alert investigation times by 48% for one client. The new Cybersecurity Assistant delivers accelerated threat investigations and remediation with historical correlation analysis and streamlined operational tasks with an advanced conversational engine.
The Assistant features a generative AI conversational engine that provides clients and IBM security analysts with real-time insights and support on operational tasks. The conversational feature can automatically trigger relevant actions, including running queries, pulling logs, command explanations, or enriching threat intelligence. The TDR Service can help reduce noise and boost overall SOC efficiency for clients.
Built-in collaboration with IBM Research, the new Assistant takes advantage of IBM’s existing generative AI capabilities that are built on the company’s Granite foundation models, refined for production within IBM watsonx.ai, while tapping into IBM watsonx Assistant for the conversational chat interface.
