1st Annual Virginia Cybersecurity Education Conference

Big Data Analytics technology is the rad new kid on the block and everyone wants a piece of the action!  But, how can this be applied to the organization’s security posture? Organizations have historically been the driving factor for many cutting security technologies using manual configurations, repetitive procedures, security information and event management, automation and orchestration, pushing the limits of existing security capabilities.  Organizations are familiar with how to harness the power of many of the security technologies, yet struggle to keep pace with the bad guys. We need a firm understanding of what options are available to leverage Big Data Analytics for security.  Once understood, we'll need to answer questions such as "What is the role of Big Data Analytics in security?" and "How can Big Data Analytics help organizations be in the ‘command and control’ seat for their own security journey?" We will explore these topics and questions as we focus on the building blocks that can realize an improved security that organization can achieve through Big Data Analytics.
