Improving cyber situational awareness through data mining and predictive analytic techniques

Abstract

Due to the widespread usage of computer resources in everyday life, cyber security has been highlighted as one of the main concerns of governments and authorities. Data mining technology can be used for prevention of cyber breaches in different ways and Cyber Situational Awareness (CSA) can be improved based on analyzing past experiences in terms of cyber-attacks. This paper aims to investigate and review current state of CSA improvement through data mining techniques and predictive analytic and offers possible methodology based on data mining techniques which can be used by cyber firms in order to secure themselves against future cyber threats.
