Web Attacks Analytics

Abstract

Cyber-attacks are on the rise. Information systems are constantly being attacked, generating economic loss. Computer networks and web technologies are the preferred places for hackers to commit cybercrimes. Most computers and devices are connected to the Internet through a communication network. On many occasions, network security administrators do not monitor adequately the cyber-attacks that are occurring through the computer network, making it difficult to protect the organizations' networks. It is important for information security experts to learn how to use data mining tools to analyze cyber-attacks in the network and to make better decisions regarding security. Based on this need, this project has been developed using RStudio and R programming Language. Four datasets were selected, and web attack information was extracted and analyzed from these datasets. With this web attack information available, network security administrators can analyze the data and make decisions that contribute to enhance the protection of networks.
