Cyber-attacks have posed real, wide threats for the information society. Detecting cyber-attacks becomes a challenge, not only because of the sophistication of attacks, but also because of the large scale and complexity of today’s dynamic IT infrastructures.

When a significant amount of data is collected from the cyber systems operations and monitoring, data science and advanced analytics are needed to correlate, learn and mine, interpret and visualize such data. To mitigate existing cyber threats, it is important that cyber-attack detection and security analysis take advantage of data science and advanced analytics. Big data provides a systemic approach, from capturing of IT operation data, through data processing and event correlation, to attack detection and response decision.

This Workshop will focus on the cutting-edge developments from both academia and industry, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques to capture, store and process the big-data from a wide range of sources in monitoring IT infrastructures, and in particular on the methodologies and technologies can be applied to correlate, learn and mine, interpret and visualize the cyber security data.

This workshop is timely for researchers, academics and practitioners in big data processing and analytics, cyber intelligence, cyber security, cyber defense, security analytics, data mining and machine learning of security data, security information and event management, cyber-attack detection. The workshop represents the core area of big data applications, especially data mining, machine learning, computational intelligence, etc., and will bring forth a lively forum on the exciting and challenging area at the conference.
