Topic

Streaming Analytics for Cyber Security

Abstract

Cyber criminals are in your organization. Learn how to leverage Big Data tools, streaming analytics, and behavioral analytics to thwart the Cyber Criminal. Detailed transaction profiling of entities within and outside the network combined with Storm are used to detect unusual user and network behavior with self-learning analytic models. Today Cyber Security concerns everyone, and organizations are struggling to protect their organizations with various disparate tools. Signature based methods are ineffective to sophisticated attacks and there is a need for smarter systems - analytic systems. Learn in this talk how more than two decades of fraud analytic technology that currently protects 2/3 of the world’s credit/debit cards is being recast onto STORM and other streaming big data tool sets to bring behavioral analytics and self-aware learning models to the battle against cybercrime.
