Watson on Bluemix

Our product development team uses Watson APIs through Bluemix. We build cognitive applications in a B2C market for identity protection services. IGWW integrates Watson APIs as components of a daily “threat” monitoring service for consumers. Our cognitive application is developed to monitor news events related to software vulnerabilities, data breaches, online scams, and malware campaigns that are directly relevant to the consumer. The data are then extracted from the web, filtered, processed, scored, and presented to the consumer as a “threat alert” related to some aspect of their personal information security. The alert is presented with advice for mitigating the threat in the form of an “action”. Upon completion of an action, the user will see this reflected in their individual risk management plan.

Additionally, as threat alerts are generated, they are personalized and targeted to specific consumers using information contained in their personal profile. Some of the data points in a profile are automatically captured using social media data and Natural Language Classifiers to select attributes.
