  • Familiarity with Jupyter notebooks

What you'll learn

  • Explore custom extensions that help data scientist working cybersecurity rapidly build models for threat detection, within an environment based on JupyterHub

Description

Notebooks have rapidly become the most important tool for data scientists. From exploratory data investigation to productionalization, notebooks now regularly factor into the entire data science pipeline. Jupyter notebooks, in particular, can be extremely valuable for crafting threat detection products in cybersecurity.

George Williams, Harini Kannan, and Alex Comerford demonstrate some of the capabilities they have developed at the intersection of data science and cybersecurity and explain how Jupyter notebooks play a central role in that effort. Specifically, they offer an overview of specialized extensions they have built for data scientists working in cybersecurity that can be used and deployed via JupyterHub.
