Extended Abstract
It's no surprise that our organizations are under attack by industrialized threats from highly skilled adversaries. At the same time we're drowning in information, facing a growing skills shortage, and often dealing with security infrastructures from the dark ages. It's no wonder that the industry is looking for the latest magic bullet, and Cognitive security is now the king of the hype curve. We'll talk about the threats in more detail, the growing migration from compliance to risk-focused security, and how security is fundamentally an information management problem. We'll investigate how cognitive technology is being applied in real organizations today, and try to get beyond the marketing and hype to understand this fundamental shift coming our way.
