GST-Network (GSTN) is trying to provide hi-tech security and analytics center to give protect the data under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for the cyber threats. GSTN will be appointing security companies by August to build up Security Management and Analytics Centre (SMAC). SMAC will implement data analytics to protect the GST system from cyber attacks and will provide a better and protected environment for GST ecosystem.

In today's world, cybercrime is one of the biggest business challenges. There are two major problems which may arise during the attack, firstly the company might fail to predict the potential cyber threats and secondly, what will be the possible solutions they can adopt during the attack. The situation might lead to worse conditions if a business community wants to stay reluctant during the attack. In a recent survey, it was found that companies are keeping quiet, even though half (49%) of attacks have resulted in the interruption of business operations. It was also revealed that while as much as nine in 10 (91%) of U.K. business leaders say that cyber security is clearly important, only 57% have a formal strategy in place to protect themselves and just one-fifth (20%) hold insurance against an attack. It can only be avoided by strong firewall, community supports, measures for intellectual data transfer, and incorporating cutting edge technology for good governance.

Many companies are discovering that big data can also be used for security by offering a broader view of risk and vulnerabilities. In today's complex network environments, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and other cyber threats can be wiped out by leveraging intelligence from data providers. Six ways for using big data to wipe out cyber threats include DNS feed which can provide lists of newly registered domains, domains commonly used for spamming and newly created domains, which can be incorporated into black and white lists, C2 systems which provide black lists of IP addresses and domains, threat intelligence which may be used to help determine if an address is safe or not, network traffic logs help to log all of the networks traffic  or even just parts of it, honeypots can be effective in identifying malware targeting a particular network and finally data quality is important to call attention to the data feed itself. By utilizing big data organizations can create more robust threat and risk detection programs. Read more at
