Watson Does Cyber Security
May 10, 2016
I heard a rumor that Palantir Technologies has turned down the volume on its cybersecurity initiative. I was interested to learn that IBM is jumping into this niche following the lead of its four star general Thomas “Weakly” Watson.
According to “IBM’s Watson Is Going to Cybersecurity School,” General Watson “announced a new year-long research project through which it will collaborate with eight universities to help train its Watson artificial-intelligence system to tackle cybercrime.”
A number of capable outfits are attacking this market sector. Instead of buying a high octane outfit, I learned:
This fall, it will begin working with students at universities including California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, Penn State, MIT, New York University and the University of Maryland at Baltimore County along with Canada’s universities of New Brunswick, Ottawa and Waterloo.
Never give up. Forward, march.
