analysis and in such a case – it’s clear why the cybersecurity analytics matters. Apparently, when we say
the cyber defense analytics, we would mean by that so sophisticated tools that would deal with the
graphical environment and offer us the chance to monitor some trends and tendencies in the cyberspace.
This could be so interesting from the perspective of the IT security analyst who would undoubtedly need
to cope with a lot of skills and also get capable to demonstrate the high level of the concentration every
single time he got the task to cope with something or respond to any incident happening in the cyberspace
or within some computing network, so far.


The effects of a good tools choice


The primary goal of the effective cybersecurity analytics is to make the good choice of the analytical tools
that would make our lives and works being much easier. In such a case, the trick is that many information
and data – which would go through the web – could deal with some cryptography and it’s not always easy
at all analyzing such signals. On the other hand, so soon there would be the great need for automated
cryptanalytic tools that could support us in obtaining the pure information and lately put them under the
process of cyber defense analytics.


Some future perspectives


Finally, the future of the cybersecurity analytics is so exciting one and at this stage; we can predict a lot
of improvements, innovations and even discoveries in such a field, so far. Also, there is so big
requirement for more and more intelligent solutions that would make the job to the cybersecurity analysts
getting much simpler and what we also can notice here is that we still struggle with the huge skill shortage
in such an arena. Hopefully, the coming times would provide us the chance to approach such a concern
in much more relaxed manner!
