Symposium 2011

ISSA of Orange County
The primary goal of the Information Systems Security Association, Inc. (ISSA) is to promote management practices that will ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of organizational information resources. Information systems security is an increasingly critical aspect of information systems design and maintenance. Many organizations do not have dedicated information systems and network security personnel they have generalists many of whom are not familiar with information security practices. The ISSA is dedicated to providing resources to such people and organizations, as well as to generally raising the level of security and data privacy consciousness among information systems personnel in all organizations.

June Monthly Meeting

Stopping Email Threats: A Big Data Approach

Abstract:

While spam emails are still an annoyance, today companies are facing a new challenge - an increase in sophisticated, malicious and targeted attacks, as evidenced by an epidemic of high profile data breaches over the 12 months. However, innovative technologies such as Hadoop, MapReduce, Cassandra, and real-time stream processing are enabling companies to keep unwanted email out of inboxes. This session will focus on how to analyze billions of events daily to find statistical norms (and consequentially, the derivation from the norm) using all of the various facets of an email to detect and defend against new email threats as they emerge.
