Beschreibung

Nowadays, the majority of organizations, collect and store event logs generated by different components in the organization's premises, e.g., proxy servers, DNS servers, firewalls, workstations, etc. Analyzing these enormous quantities of event logs possess the potential to detect advanced cyber threats. This introduces the necessity for advanced analytics to derive security value from this “Big Security Data”.

In this seminar, students will be introduced to the valuable security related data and have hands on experience, performing various analytics to derive security value.
