The importance of Big Data analytics in the field of Cyber Security

Internet is a changing technology and it is impossible to anticipate the changes that are occurring constantly. Every change leads to more dangerous threats that had not been previously imagined, reason for this condition is expeditious expansion in internet innovations. This elaboration of the cyberspace has involved with it an aggressive raise in the type and frequency of cyber-attacks. So there is a need of cyber security solutions to block these attacks. However, the generation of Big Data over computer networks is expeditiously rendering these traditional solutions are outdated. To overcome this problem, corporate researchers are now focusing on Security Analytics, i.e., the application of Big Data Analytics approach to cyber security. The security in big data analytics has the ability to congregate huge amounts of data to be analyzed visualized and drawn insights that can make it possible to predict and avoid cyber-attacks. This paper will presents a inclusive survey on the state of the art of security analytics i e its representation, the technology, the trends and its tools. It hence achieves to satisfy the reader of the forthcoming application of analytics as an unparalleled cyber security solution in the near future.
