Terabyte threat analysis

Client: Paul Reid, BT <paul.reid@bt.com>

Large networks such as the BT phone network generate terabytes of routing metadata, but the size of the dataset makes it difficult to interact with that data in realtime. This means that threats to the network - whether natural disasters or intentional attacks - may not be recognised until it is too late. Your task is to create a threat visualisation and rapid response tool that uses the Hadoop distributed data framework to identify network vulnerabilities from data traffic analysis, and helps to plan and prioritise technical responses.
