Intelligent Cyber Security Solutions through High Performance Computing and Data Sciences: An Integrated Approach

The recent advances in Data Sciences and HPC despite transforming the ongoing digitization to have a positive impact on the social and economic aspect of our lives, have at the same time, given birth to several security issues. Thus the face of Cyber security has changed in the recent times with the advent of new technologies such as the Cloud, the internet of things, mobile/wireless and wearable technology. The technological advances in data science which help develop contemporary cyber security solutions are storage, computing and behavior. On the other hand high performance computing power facilitates the usage of sophisticated machine learning techniques to build innovative models for identification of malware. Big data holds vital importance in building analytical models which identify cyber attacks. Besides High performance computing is necessary for supporting all aspects of data-driven research. An integrated approach combining the technological benefits provided by predictive power of data sciences and the aggregated parallel processing power of high performance computing would help devise intelligent and powerful cyber security solutions supporting proactive and dynamic approach to threat management to counteract the multitude of potentially new emerging cyber attacks.
