In an earlier post, I wrote about the need for robust circuit breakers that would use real-time market data like a yellow flag to make markets safer and more stable.
In the unstructured data world, especially text, the big trend is predictive coding or predictive analytics that identify high-risk communications, flag them for followup and use machine learning to train a data set.
To address the big data issue, governments must continue to develop and enhance their complex analytical targeting systems to scour the data for the proverbial needle in a haystack that would flag a suspicious shipment.
That kind of harmless hacking was channeled into a variety of competitions at the conference, including a lockpicking contest and a game of capture the flag, in which teams earned points by stealing bits of each other's data.
