Many companies are discovering that big data can also be used for security by offering a broader view of risk and vulnerabilities. In today's complex network environments, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and other cyber threats can be wiped out by leveraging intelligence from data providers. Six ways for using big data to wipe out cyber threats include DNS feed which can provide lists of newly registered domains, domains commonly used for spamming and newly created domains, which can be incorporated into black and white lists, C2 systems which provide black lists of IP addresses and domains, threat intelligence which may be used to help determine if an address is safe or not, network traffic logs help to log all of the networks traffic  or even just parts of it, honeypots can be effective in identifying malware targeting a particular network and finally data quality is important to call attention to the data feed itself. By utilizing big data organizations can create more robust threat and risk detection programs. Read more at
