This session shows how Hadoop enables deep analytics over massive amounts of network data, and how to extract information and value using Hadoop at the core of a complete analytics system. Narus, a division of Boeing, helps customers unlock the value of their networks with dynamic network traffic intelligence and analysis of information on IP traffic and flow data. This session provides details on how real-time traffic capture and analysis integrates with Hadoop to perform extremely complex analytics over vast quantities of data in a demanding environment to produce actionable information. The uses for these analytics range from simple network analysis to providing complex security detection and mitigation analysis. Terabytes of forensic data of network traffic are processed to isolate suspicious patterns of behavior, allowing further analysis to pinpoint malicious traffic and operators to take action.
