Cybersecurity Analytics Purposes


By Milica D. Djekic


There are a lot of questions about what the cybersecurity analytics is and what its role in cyber defense
could be. It’s not always that simple to explain everything you need to know about such a topic, but let’s
say that the cybersecurity analytics could be from the crucial importance in understanding some of the
most fundamental stuffs in the cyberspace. In other words, in order to obtain some findings about what
is going on within the cyberspace, we would use the cybersecurity analytics as a key factor in collecting
the intelligence and formulating the further tactics and strategies. The cybersecurity analytics would get
closely correlated with the information exchange as well as communications between two devices or
within the entire network of the physical objects. On the other hand, a plenty of monitoring and
surveillance in the high-tech space would rely on the cybersecurity analytics for a reason the cyber
professionals as well as IT security experts would get the need to better approach the cyberspace in
order to clearly cope with its occurrences and recognize the risks, threats and challenges as well as
define the ways how to combat them. So, would dealing with the monitored signals and communications
be enough to understand what we want to?


Practically, if you put under the surveillance some digital data, you would undoubtedly get an opportunity
to figure out how their behavior is and what they can do with the rest of the information in the cyberspace.
In addition, in so many cases, the data as well as information exchange assets would use some
encryption algorithms and it would not get simple to cope with such an input. In other words, the
cryptography would become so significant player in any cybersecurity analytics attempt and if we are not
in position to decrypt once being sent signal – we would deal with the minor chance to figure out what
we need to get about such a communications. Basically, it’s so important to take care about the
standardization of software, because any kind of applications should get the tool being ready to put them
under surveillance. Apparently, once you cope with the software that are capable to do the good
monitoring of any information exchange, you would easily gain some findings about data behavior which
can help you so greatly to develop the data model and try to put it under some analysis.
