Cognitive Computing and Cybersecurity Threat Mitigation: A Strategic Framework for Organizational Resilience

Cyber spacing being harnessed as a foundation for global development and financial systems has posed increasing threats to organizational stability, compliance with regulations, and integrity of data. The report employs a two-pronged approach: firstly, assessing all threats and creating an organizational taxonomy for XYZ Company and getting into the details of vulnerabilities and trends of cyberattacks with the support of case studies like the Snowflake data breach and the Salt Typhoon campaign. Included here are ransomware, phishing, DDoS, and advanced persistent attacks. Secondly, an evaluation of how the implementations of cognitive computing platforms in IBM Watson and Palantir Foundry may mitigate financial risks arises. By contrasting their predictive analytics, compliance automation, capabilities for integration, and limitations, the research pinpoints the desirable context for each system deployment in the Malaysian regulatory environment. The analyses highlight the need for a multi-layered cybersecurity approach that embraces AI-driven solutions, employee training, and real-time detection of threats to guarantee the operational resilience of organizations while nationally aligning data protection efforts.
