"Cybersecurity today is all about big data. We have a large set of tools of how to aggregate, collect and store massive amounts of data that no longer can be stored on a laptop. So we have cloud arrays and all sorts of different services that are out there to help us understand what's happening on our network, what's happening out in the internet, looking and try to predict what may come after us or just general problems that are going on in the world today."
