Mission Precognition: Using Big Data and Predictive Analytics to Predict and Prevent Cyber Attacks

The ever-increasing rise in cyber warfare attacks on our country’s defense, corporate, and ¬ financial systems, has given rise to the need for a better approach to cyber defense. The old reactive paradigm will no longer suffice to protect our strategic cyber assets.
In order to prevent catastrophic damage to our infrastructure, we need the ability to detect cyber attacks in real time and stop them before they complete. Traditional defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detections systems are not enough, we need a new generation of tools that can react as fast as, or even faster, than the automated tools used to attack our systems. These products and tools necessary to properly protect our mission-critical systems already exist today.
This session describes an architecture that leverages this new generation of tools to create a real-time proactive cyber defense system. A system that not only detects attacks as they are happening but uses predictive analyses to anticipate them and prevent them from succeeding.
