IBM’s New Cybersecurity Plan: Find Bad Guys Before They Steal - Digits -
WSJ

IBM’s new security systems work by ingesting massive amounts of publicly
available data from computer networks, software and websites, and
establishing patterns of normal behavior. Then it looks for irregularities
in how the ingested data behave and are being used, IBM Vice President Marc
van Zadelhoff said. One example: finding a PDF reader that is abnormally
communicating with servers outside of a company’s infrastructure.

Data analytics also can help companies ferret out real attacks among the
millions security “events” that happen each week, van Zadelhoff said. When
Target was attacked by hackers who stole credit card data from tens of
millions of its customers, the retailer security team saw alerts but the
company didn’t act on
them<http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304703804579381520736715690>.
IBM’s systems, for example, would prompt a company to act on an alert that
data are being sent to an Internet address that is suspicious or known to
be associated with computer criminals, van Zadelhoff said.
