NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Most IT
professionals are familiar with Volume, Velocity and Variety as
they apply to Big Data, but how about applying them to internet
security? That's the approach that the enterprise security experts
at Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services
provider (www.us.logicalis.com), are discussing with clients who
are increasingly concerned about advanced threats and malware
attacking their corporate networks. To assist IT professionals
tasked with enterprise security at their organizations, security
experts at Logicalis US have created an infographic outlining the
benefits of Transforming Internet Security with Big Data.
"A smart and direct approach to enterprise security, like Cisco
Umbrella, leverages the internet's infrastructure to block
malicious destinations before a connection is ever established. By
delivering security from the cloud, not only can you save money,
but you can also achieve more effective security," says
Ron Temske, Vice President of
Security Solutions, Logicalis US. "Umbrella learns from internet
activity to automatically identify attacker infrastructure staged
for current and emergent threats. It captures and understands the
relationships between malware, domains, IPs, and networks across
the internet."
Three Steps Required to Leverage Big Data for Internet
Security
- Discover: Gather the Big Data necessary to understand
what the threat environment looks like. Cisco Umbrella
Intelligence, for example, receives 88 billion requests from 65
million active users each day. This is used to assess internet
threat pathways including IP addresses, domain names, URLs, DNS and
others.
- Identify: Using data mining techniques, review the
threats to build, tune and train classifiers that can more easily
discern active threats from non-threats. The best solutions employ
a combination of technology and a team of data scientists to detect
and predict threat behaviors.
- Enforce: Once discovered and identified, threat policies
can be confidently enacted that will protect enterprise resources
from attacks from millions of malicious destinations while
simultaneously resolving DNS requests.
