We would like to receive more information on applying big data technologies to information security management. Could you please comment on any example, experience, environment ...?
From security perspective, I find big data analytics can contribute in the areas of IT security management, risk management as well as IT governance. On IT security management angle at high level, through real time big data analytics, it can help detect fraud, minimize security exposure, overcome virus / malware outbreaks and fighting spammed emails among IT users & their computers or servers. Real time big data can be scanned continuously & once a security event is classified or detected, alert can be sent to other security software system like SIEM, security compliance & control mgmt etc. for earlier investigation or immediate actions in order to minimize security risk
For how big data analytics also can contribute in risk mgmt, IT governance or other aspects in IT service delivery at high level, you can refer to / download this article of mine:
Thanks a lot, Fung. The main problem is the difference of formats of data collected by various protection and detection tools. Do you know how to present these big data in one format (description) and related standards?
