Modernizing cybersecurity approaches

Cybersecurity incidents are among the greatest concerns of businesses, government agencies, and private citizens today. In the modern world, protecting our data and information assets is nearly as important as maintaining the security of our physical assets. It should not be surprising, then, that data analytics play a key role in cybersecurity. Analytics and machine intelligence, a field concerned with producing machines able to autonomously perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, can drive an organization from reactive to proactive when coupled with organizational change. This capability enables organizations of all types to move from simply measuring signals (data), to creating sentinels (machine learning algorithms), and then moving ahead to sense-making (actionable machine intelligence).
