Beyond the Hype of Data Science
Summary
With RSA Conference on the horizon, odds are that if you make it to the exhibit floor, you will hear a lot about data science and machine learning. To keep our collective heads above water, it is important to understand the realities behind these technologies so we can separate the truth from the hype and make well-informed security decisions. For example, machine learning can reveal low-level traits that command-and-control messages have in common, or signal an impending data theft when unusual employee behavior occurs. These examples illustrate critical concepts that make data science and machine learning important to security professionals. While the promises may sound enticing, the vast majority of security and analytics solutions require a significant amount of human effort and attention in order to deliver value.
