Realtime Security Intelligence

BARC and KuppingerCole have jointly conducted a study on Big Data in Information Security, building on three well-received BARC surveys in recent years: “Big Data Use Cases”, “Big Data Analytics“, and “Big Data Survey Europe“. While the previous surveys focused on big data analytics in general, this survey concentrated on security use cases of big data analytics in information security and fraud detection. The survey examined a number of areas including:

• Awareness and current approaches in information security and fraud detection
• Importance, status quo and plans of big data security analytics initiatives in information security and fraud detection
• Opportunities, benefits and challenges
• Tools used and expectations of users
• Investment plans & roadmap

In this talk, Dr. Bange will present the results of the study

The volume of security data and events has undergone an exponential explosion whose pace is only projected to increase with the proliferation of the Internet of Things devices. Fortunately, for the first time in IT security history the tools to analyze these firehoses of Big Data and provide real-time insight are appearing. What opportunities do these new tools present and how will they create a paradigm shift in the strategy for CISOs and security professionals.
