Abstract;
Morgan Stanley uses multidisciplinary approaches to addressing cyber threats, securing systems, and reducing risk through multi-layer controls. Analytic approaches to detection are utilized to identify unexpected and suspicious activity. Simple strategies of tracking event history to address the question "has this ever occurred before?" can reveal anomalies associated with cyber threats in real-time. A need to perform efficient state tracking to identify event history on streaming, unbounded information streams leads to a study of novel data structures.

This presentation will provide an exploration of expiring, set-membership data structures used in the context of cybersecurity anomaly detection to efficiently track real-time system events. This presentation will show how Morgan Stanley utilizes innovative approaches to address cybersecurity challenges.

Presenter Bio: Karl Anderson is a technical lead for the Wealth Management Cybersecurity team.
