Explanation

Statistical data processing in security systems helps detect anomalous behavior by analyzing traffic patterns over time. By establishing baseline trends, security tools can identify deviations that may indicate potential threats, such as unusual spikes in traffic, abnormal login attempts, or unexpected data transfers. This method is essential for detecting attacks like DDoS, insider threats, and data exfiltration.
