Abstract
Techniques from Data Analytics, by which I mean: Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Statistics, are being applied increasingly to security challenges such as Phishing, intrusion and malware detection, among others. This talk will cover the unique challenges posed by the cyber security domain to data analytics, and the progress, thus far, that has been made in addressing them.
