In an IT environment where more and more enterprise IT is located outside the physical confines of enterprises, security data collection and sensing has to follow. “Cyclops" is the US Department of Defense’s solution to migrate the collection of unsampled flow data, network metadata, and security analysis to the "cloud." Sylvia Mapes (DISA), Alan Fraser (CenturyLink), and Greg Virgin (RedJack) will discuss the challenges and solutions of flow data “as-a-service,” including deployment strategies, analysis strategies, and coping with the massive scale of malicious activity on ISP-sized network connections.
