- Anton Chuvakin, Research Vice President with Gartner, recently stated “As many organizations continue to struggle with utilizing traditional security tools… the expectation that they will magically adopt security analytics approaches as well as big data technologies is questionable at best — the emerging tools make some tasks easier, but come with their own skill requirements“.
- “A big challenge in the cybersecurity analytics space is sifting through all the vendor hype to find the right tool… since each company has its own unique needs and the market is crowding with new entrants ranging from major tech vendors to startups flush with lots of VC cash to power their marketing spin” says Steve Morgan, Editor-In-Chief of the Cybersecurity Market Report. “An even bigger challenge is finding security practitioners who have real-world big data analytics experience in the context of combating cyber-threats. There’s a small universe of cyber-pilots who have seen active duty in this space”.
- Microsoft will make its Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) cybersecurity software – based on technology Microsoft acquired when it bought Israeli cybersecurity startup Aorato last year – available starting in August (2015), according to a ZDNet article.
- SAS Institute, the $3 billion plus business analytics software and services company, and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market, is a new entrant in the cyber analytics space with its SAS Cybersecurity solution.
