Big-data analytics and Cyber Crime Cyber criminals use big-data analytics in order to • Select target …to max the impact or outcome • Select tools …to do the job • Select time …to facilitate intrusion • Select way in …to exploite target’s weekneses • Select strategy …to perform the kill chain sequence Why not us to fight them ?
Cyber Security - Defense It is not an “if”…but a “when”
