Big Data Analytics

Everyone is Claiming Big Data

Traditional vs Big Data

Drivers of Big Data
• About 80% of the world’s data are semi-structured or unstructured.

Open Source Tools in Big Data
• Hadoop ecosystem
• NoSQL database

Apache Hadoop Stack

Big Data Analytics
• The process of examining large data sets
containing a variety of data types i.e., big
data.
• Big Data analytics enables organizations to
analyze a mix of structured, semi-structured,
and unstructured data in search of valuable
information and insights.

Security Trends

Data Analytics for Intrusion Detection
• 1st generation: Intrusion detection
systems
• 2nd generation: Security information
and event management (SIEM)

Limitation of Traditional SIEMs
Storing and retaining a large quantity of data was not economically feasible.
Normalization & datastore schema reduces data
Traditional tools did not leverage Big Data technologies.
Closed platform with limited customization & integration options

Data Analytics for Intrusion Detection
• 1st generation: Intrusion detection
systems
• 2nd generation: Security information
and event management (SIEM)
• 3rd generation: Big Data analytics in
security (Next generation SIEM)

Example Security Attacks

Advanced Persistent Threats
• Advanced
– The attack can cope with traditional security solutions
– In many cases is based on Zero-day vulnerabilities
• Persistent
– Attack has a specific goal
– Remain on the system as long as the attack goal is not met.
• Threat
– Collect and steal information-Confidentiality.
– Make the victim's system unavailable-Availability.
– Modify the victim's system data-Integrity.
