Breach of security has always been an important issue for any organization. Analytics has also provided a solution to this problem in the form of Security Analytics.

According to Eric Ahlm, Research Director at Gartner, "Security analytics platforms endeavor to bring situational awareness to security events by gathering and analyzing a broader set of data, such that the events that pose the greatest harm to an organization are found and prioritized with greater accuracy."

Two important applications of security analytics are:

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)        
• User Behavior Analytics (UBA)

To sum up, although security industry is still immature in the application of analytics, it still holds huge growth opportunities.
