SparkCognition and Carnegie Mellon University are developing a system that works with IBM's Watson to help organisations fight against an ever-increasing number of automated cyber attacks, by using AI to identify unknown software and flagging it for analysis. The system, called Spark, is designed to be used in conjunction with the IBM Cloud Platform as well as other cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2.
