A Concept Map of the Security Analytics Field

It seems that many of us are crazed with the need to define things. To say that "that idea fits in this box". And I'm among the worst of them. But then, there is value in definition. I once had a Security Director whose favorite retort was "You can't measure security, Harold." Well, I disagreed then, and disagree even more fervently now. The whole point of the Security Analytics effort is find trends, patterns and associations in security-related data, measure it's import to managing our risks and making sound decisions. So my reply has been..."whatever I can operationally define, I can measure...whatever I can measure, I can manage!" So, I find it necessary to define my field. Over the next few days, I'll try to circumscribe, dissect, illuminate and define the new and burgeoning field of Security Analytics. I'll then create and post Concept Maps along the way so that we can visually analyze those definitions. Read on and let's see if we can paint this picture.
