Abstract

More than half of the global population is involved in the cyber world. With this massive population there is a generation of large amount of data. These data are of high-volume variety and velocity, which is collectively termed as Big data. The security of these data is of primary importance. Cybercrimes, threats are also taking the form of big data. We cannot deny the fact that we have conventional cyber security application that filters the anomalous traffic that are seamlessly working fine unto this point. But due to rapid expansion on data and threats these applications need to be updated. Big data analytics tool when incorporated with these traditional approaches may help to find the efficient measure to defeat security attacks. Here in this paper we have gone through some of the major cyber security threats, some of the conventional Cyber security application and try to find how big data analytics can be incorporated in those application to obtain the reliable outcome.
