Abstract
This presentation looks at how big
  data analytics are used to monitor security vulnerability disclosures in 
 the dark market\, and how to prevent the zero day vulnerabilities from bec
 oming escalated acts of persistent advanced cybersecurity threats. A softw
 are vulnerability is a weakness in a computer system that can be exploited
  by an attacker.  A zero data exploit is a vulnerability that is exploite
 d against a target on the day on which public awareness of the existence o
 f the vulnerability occurs (that is\, zero days have elapsed since between
  the awareness and the use).
Vulnerabilities are lucrative commodities in 
 the dark market as well as in legitimate markets. For example\, the US gov
 ernment purchased vulnerabilities to launch the Stuxnet virus that slowed 
 down Iran’s nuclear power program. This also includes monitoring of hack
 tivists and ethical hackers through social media\, the dark market\, 4chan
 \, and through FBI infiltrated technology services.
The paper draws on wor
 k undertaken over the last six years both in the fields of security vulner
 abilities\, and ethical hacking drawing on analytics from the media and bl
 ogs\, as well as analytics run on a number of hacking and cyber jihad dark
  market forums. It will be demonstrated that there are fewer safeguards in
  place for this type of big data surveillance than there are for more trad
 itional (and the focus of media stories) big data uses in national securit
 y\, and in particular for terrorism. It will be argued that more transpare
 ncy and safeguards are required for less known forms of big data surveilla
 nce.
