Cyber security is a big data problem, the volume and velocity of data from devices requires a new approach that allows exploration at scale across enterprise data. Cyber security is facing a scaling limitation as the number of devices and traffic increases across networks, and current tools are not effective at addressing the key issues of scale and speed. Analysts and companies are inundated with alerts and are unable to distinguish noise from threats until it is too late. Open source big data technologies reduce costs and act as the building blocks of a scalable platform with the speed and scale necessary for enterprises to overcome these challenges.
