Ran across a fascinating TED video which provides insight
into just a close we are to meaningful
security data analytics.

Machine learning systems within the last year now process images,
signs, and information with more accuracy than a human. The extraordinary Deep
Learning algorithm allows scientists to build learning systems without prior
knowledge of the subject and solve previously unsolvable problems. Unsolvable…
not because of computational power limitations… but because people don’t know
how to solve the problem. The machine, however, can learn about and figure out
new ways of solving problems that people have not yet thought about. This is
different from programmatically writing the logic for how to solve problems.
Consider speed and analysis of system operations with
accuracy and capability beyond what a human being can process, scaled to
consume the entire output of the data centers operational output (errors, logs,
alerts). This is beyond building rules to identify bad traffic and malicious
events. This is about enabling a deep learning machine to read every known
book, website, web forum, data feed, dark web content, and become a security
powerhouse with ultimate knowledge of your data center.
Sound crazy? Far-off? Watch the video below.
