Security is a Big Data Problem, and It’s Getting Bigger

Solving security’s big data problem is about prioritized data flow, continuously processing data for analysis and translating and exporting it to create a single security infrastructure

Typically, when someone says “security is a big data problem” they’re referring to the overwhelming amount of internal threat and event data produced from sources like your SIEM, logs, ticketing and case management systems. The volume of alerts these sources generate cause many security professionals to suffer from “alert fatigue.” Compounding the fatigue are the millions of external threat datapoint analysts are bombarded with every day from the multiple sources they subscribe to – commercial, open source, government, industry, existing security vendors – as well as frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
