Because of the changing threat environment and the need for continuous network monitoring, cybersecurity has become a data analysis activity. A big data problem. CIOs, security officers and program managers concerned with the integrity of systems must find a way to integrate data coming in from perimeter appliances, network logs, and a variety of security information and event management (SIEM) tools. Operators must correlate this data stream with rules governing what it is they are guarding against. That could be malware, data exfiltration, or insider activity. This panel will explore ways federal agencies are dealing with the big data and analysis challenges of today's cybersecurity environment.
