Network Security Analysis Using Big Data Technology

The first step in understanding computer and network security is to formulate a realistic assessment of the threats to those systems. You will need a clear picture of the dangers in order to adequately prepare a defense.Network security helps to prevent the network against the intruders from performing malicious activities. With the evolution of networks, threats or attacks with the intention of disrupting service or stealing confidential data are increasing tremendously. Networks have to be monitored constantly and protected against attacks. In this paper, a new method to analyze network traffic using Big Data techniques is introduced. This approach detects anomalous activities being carried out and malicious data being transmitted over the networks through processing and loading traffic data into Hive database in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) environment, and analyzing the data using Hive queries
