Abstract
Security analytics, which separates malicious activity from normal usage patterns, leverages data analytics to assist with system security. The field encompasses analytic capabilities that enable the analysis of large quantities of structured and unstructured data across large infrastructures in a short amount of time, allowing monitoring and surveillance of activity such as network traffic, web transactions, network servers and nodes, and user credentialing to detect threats and to provide an overall picture of a system’s security posture.
