IBM Think on Security (2)

Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, President, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Ginni Rometty, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, IBM discuss security at the 2014 IBM THINK Forum.

We do need truly smart technology that not only remembers, learns and recognizes, but also adjusts, adapts and even alters its own algorithms.  Jackson makes a good point in that such a technology ought to detect anomalies as well as precursors.  Of course anomalies may be precursors, too, if they precede a more concerning, perhaps catastrophic incident.  In any case, the idea is to anticipate any problem, before it emerges or worsens.
