The
internet is widely used for consumers and businesses across the planet.
Although this allows for near instant access and is a plethora of knowledge,
both good and bad, these are still issues.
To lessen
and mitigate these issues, data analytics has been involved more. The
implementation started approximately 10 years ago. At this time with the new
technology with the vast number of people not using it yet, most email was spam.
Over time and with the application of analytics, this has brought this number
of spam emails down that appear in your inbox. Now these are mostly routed to
the Spam folder, as they should. This has been accomplished with the email filter.
This was designed to analyze the emails to move the spam away from the inbox.
Big
data also has been used with AV to analyze what is malware through heuristics.
Other uses have been to review insider acts and access for insider threats,
monitor transactions at the bank with your account to analyze if this may be
legitimate or a potential theft, monitor email accounts and on the enterprise
level for phishing activities, and identify APT.
The
coupling of these two has proved to be a benefit for all involved.
