Security threats for IT assets are getting more frequent, and dangerously more sophisticated every day. In order to prevent these attacks, or have the best way to react to them, companies must have the proper data to act accordingly. That’s why Security Analytics is needed. Security analytics is a combination of software, algorithms, and analytic processes used to detect potential threats to IT systems. The need for security analytics technologies is growing thanks to rapid advancements in malware and other methods of technological crimes. Ideally, security analytics is a proactive approach to cybersecurity that uses data collection, aggregation and analysis capabilities to perform vital security functions that detect, analyze and mitigate cyberthreats.
