How big data & machine learning may help companies prevent cyber breaches

By Michelle Froese | February 14, 2019

As cyber crime becomes more sophisticated and even a method of warfare, technologies such as machine learning, big data, and blockchain will become prominent, according to analysis by consulting organization Frost & Sullivan. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has also opened up numerous points of vulnerabilities, compelling cybersecurity companies, to develop innovative solutions to protect enterprises from emerging threats.

Cybersecurity budgets have increasedglobally among companies in every industry, finds Frost & Sullivan.

Cybersecurity budgets have increased among companies globally and in nearly every industry, finds Frost & Sullivan.

“Deploying big data solutions is essential for companies to expand the scope of cybersecurity solutions beyond detection and mitigation of threats,” said Hiten Shah, Research Analyst, TechVision. “This technology can proactively predict breaches before they happen, as well as uncover patterns from past incidents to support policy decisions.”

Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Envisioning the Next-GenerationCybersecurity Practices, presents an overview of cybersecurity in enterprises and analyzes the drivers and challenges to the adoption of best practices in cybersecurity. It also covers the technologies impacting the future of cybersecurity and the main purchase factors.

Technologies that are likely to find the most application opportunities include:

  • Big data: It enables automated risk management and predictive analytics. Its adoption will be mostly driven by the need to identify usage and behavioral patterns to help security operations spot anomalies.
  • Machine learning: It allows security teams to prioritize corrective actions and automate real-time analysis of multiple variables. Using the vast pools of data collected by companies, machine learning algorithms can zero in on the root cause of the attack and fix detected anomalies in the network.
  • Blockchain: The data stored on blockchain cannot be manipulated or erased by design. The tractability of activities performed on blockchain is integral to establishing a trustworthy network between endpoints. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of blockchain greatly increases the cost of breaching blockchain-based networks, which discourages hackers.

“Envisioning the Next-Generation Cybersecurity Practices” is part of Frost & Sullivan’s global Information & Communication Growth Partnership Service program.

    In this age of online data transfers, cybersecurity is of prime importance, especially for the fact that businesses are reported to have lost millions of dollars to even a small leak or a single data breach. Blockchain, a common name in the field of cryptocurrency is gradually seeping into the domain of Big Data (another big name in businesses) to enhance the level of security for products. Both, when combined are said to prevent possible data leaks
