Featured Talks

Mike Brown, CTO of comScore
comScore first started adopting Hadoop in 2009 and it quickly has become

about the design and decision points that comScore encountered on its
Hadoop journey.
Bridging the Data Governance Chasm
Jay Zaidi, Managing Partner, AlyData
Organizations are inundated with data and are having to deal with a
highly fragmented data landscape - on-premise and in the cloud. In this
new world, securing data assets, ensuring accountability, cataloging
critical assets and ensuring adequate data quality is very challenging.
The problems are compounded by the fact that most governance teams
aren't equipped to deal with Big Data. In this session, I will discuss
some observations related to our experience with clients and how we've
utilized proprietary methodologies coupled with a structured approach to
streamline governance.
Using Data Intelligence to Separate Fact from Fiction on the Dark Web
Tyler Carbone, COO of Terbium Labs
Much myth surrounds the Dark Web. In fact, even defining it is a
challenge, and often it is described in vague, sensationalized terms. As
the company behind Matchlight, the world’s first fully private, fully
automated Dark Web data intelligence system, Terbium Labs has observed
that while the Dark Web is large, it is not intractably so. The Dark Web
primarily consists of several thousand domains and a few hundred forums
and marketplaces where illegal content and materials are most often
traded. In this session, Tyler Carbone, Chief Operating Officer of
Terbium Labs, will present detailed statistics about the types of
content that are most notable. He’ll describe examples relating to fraud
and data theft and show that by using a data intelligence approach,
organizations can truly light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.
