In this paper we outline an approach and highlight the key considerations for applying Big Data to cyber security analytics. Throughout we draw on the key lessons learned from our own experience of implementing Big Data, specifically Hadoop-based, cyber security analytics solutions.

1. The report I previously posted here “Considerations for developing Big Data Security Analytics: A Practical Guide“ has
been taken down at the request of my previous employers BAE Systems Applied Intelligence.
This document was previously available for download from the BAE Systems Applied Intelligence website but I am
afraid is also now no longer available from there.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
