Big data encompasses both the breadth of sources and the information depth needed for programs to assess risks accurately and to defend against illicit activity and advanced cyber threats. Within the next two years, we predict big data analytics will disrupt the status quo in most information security product segments, including SIEM; network monitoring; user authentication and authorization; identity management; fraud detection; and governance, risk & compliance. In the next three to five years, we predict data analytics tools will further evolve to enable a range of advanced predictive capabilities and automat...
