Biology based techniques with cognitive system analysis for handling information security and privacy

摘要

Mechanisms are provided in which an electronic corpus of content specific to a domain of computer system attacks is ingested and cognitively analyzed to identify at least one instance of a reference to a computer attack and at least one corresponding characteristic of the computer attack. The mechanisms generate an attack profile data structure for the computer attack based on the at least one corresponding characteristic of the computer attack identified by the cognitive analysis of the content of the electronic corpus. A local segment analysis and security (LSAS) engine, associated with a segment of a distributed computing system, is configured based on the attack profile data structure. The LSAS engine determines a security response action to implement based on the attack profile data structure and transmits a control message to at least one computing resource to implement the determined security response action in response to detecting the computer attack.
