Description:

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA is the process of looking through data to get a basic idea of its structure and attributes, often with visualizations. It is a valuable tool for security analysts looking for any network traffic anomalies—particularly in dealing with changing attackers and shifting networks—that sometimes reveals patterns beyond those detectible through statistical analysis. In this webcast, we'll discuss how to apply the art of exploratory data analysis to security questions.
