TechTip: IBM Renames Its Watson Products

Ever been surprised when IBM rebrands products or changes its web pages? Yep, it happens sometimes. Let’s look at what IBM’s latest reorg has done to the Watson product line.

By David Shirey  

It seems that over the last month or so, IBM has fairly completely redone the Watson pages on their website. Some are the same, and a few URLs remain unchanged, but I’m afraid you could become confused if you’re trying to use the TechTips from earlier this year as a guide.

Watson for i: Cybersecurity the Watson Way

The escalating hacks of businesses and the mushrooming of ransomware show that cybersecurity is going to be a bigger part of future IT life than ever before. IBM Watson offers services that can help.

By John Ghrist

More than a year and a half ago, IBM Chairman Ginni Rometty was quoted in a Forbes report as saying that "cybercrime is the greatest threat to every company in the world." Since then, we've seen hacking causing controversy in the U.S. election for president in 2016, the WannaCry ransomware attacks last May affecting more than 230,000 computers in more than 150 countries, and intrusions at U.S. power plants (including a nuclear facility) in early July resulting in yet-undefined consequences, to name just a few of the most notorious examples. Cyber warfare is here to stay, and no one can be complacent that their systems will remain immune forever.
