Speech Title: Big data approaches for cybersecurity: special considerations

Abstract: Cyberattacks are nothing new, but the last few years have seen sharp growth in the frequency and severity of attacks. In particular,
• The total volume of cyberattacks grows on the order of 11% per year;
• Data leaks (including personal data) are expected to increase 20% from 2022-2023 in frequency and 10% in volume;
• Some estimates indicate that damage from cyberattacks will reach about 10.5 trillion USD by 2025, a 300% increase over 10 years.
Traditional means for cyberprotection have flaws in dealing with new threats, both in protecting from cyberattacks, as well as in not interfering with the work of legitimate users of websites and other network resources. Big data and machine learning approaches are being employed to address these shortcomings, but must be used with a careful understanding of the context to be effective.
In this talk I will show traditional defence means, as well as new approaches, based on Big Data and machine learning technology, including information from real cases of recent attacks. You will learn about some of the special considerations for performing research and doing development in this field, that are needed for appropriate and effective results. My talk is designed for technical developers and researchers in the field, as well as for managers, who need to understand the different types of defences and the need for deployment.
