Big Data Security Analytics Paper

I wrote this paper with a colleague recently. A practical guide for getting started in Big Data Security Analytics. This should be the first of a series of posts on the application of big data technologies and data science approaches to cyber security.

I understand the impact of pervasive mobile, I get the risks of ‘consumerisation’ and I can see the challenges of cloud but it’s the opportunities of big data that have me excited about the future of security, both cyber security and traditional information security.

    1. Agreed that Data Science is not easy and not a silver bullet. A good data scientist is a rare and valuable thing.

      There is a slowly growing body of knowledge to work with and unfortunately a lot of charlatans, it’s early days for a new discipline that I can see is going to bring big rewards. For reasons I haven’t blogged on yet I think Big Data technologies and Data Science will fundamentally change Security Management practices for the better but I’m also sure that we are 5-10 years away from seeing that happen (You can remind me of that prediction in 2024!).
