Data Mining and Business Intelligence
for Cyber Security Applications
A Unique Summer Program
Data Mining and Business Intelligence focuses on
automatic data analysis and the extraction of information
and knowledge. Over the last few years, data mining has
become a crucial factor in the competitive environment
and serves organizations at all levels, from operational
decisions to the improvement of strategic planning.
The summer program in data mining and business
intelligence will meet the obvious need for academic
training in big data, business intelligence and data mining
methods, especially for cyber security enhancement.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) Was founded
in 1969, and established itself as one of the leading
universities in Israel. Over the years, BGU has acquired
an international reputation. In 2012, Israel’s Prime
Minister declared that Beer Sheva and BGU are to
become the country’s cyber security command center.
Consequently, the Cyber Security Research Center
and the Big Data Lab were established at Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev in 2013. These developments
have transformed BGU, with its research centers and
leading academic faculty, together with the Advanced
Technologies Park, into an ideal environment for a
summer program in these fields.

Program Description

The purpose of the Summer Program in Data Mining and
Business Intelligence is to provide both theoretical and
practical knowledge, including tools, on data mining. The
program offers two academic courses (each for 3 credits),
where students learn the basic tools of data mining and
the utilization of machine learning techniques for solving
cyber security problems. The final project corresponds
with the course materials and contributes the practical
experience component. In addition, students will take
part in professional fieldtrips to leading companies, in
order to enhance their understanding of data mining
and cyber security.

Program Structure

The program consists of the following components:
Advanced Topics in Cyber Security (3 credits)
Methods for Detecting Cyber Attack (3 credits)
Final Project dealing with novel cyber security problems
Additionally, the students will take part in professional
field trips, visiting the industry’s leading innovators,
supporting organizations and additional figures of the
data mining and cyber security ecosystem.
World Renowned Professors And Lecturers
Learn in-person from renowned BGU faculty and leading
industry practitioners.
