Security News > 2023 > June > Unlocking internet’s secrets via monitoring, data collection, and analysis

In this Help Net Security interview, Ryan Woodley, CEO of Netcraft, discusses the importance of monitoring, collecting, and analyzing internet data to gain a profound understanding of the internet.

The aim is to generate a vast, rich pool of data, which is processed using advanced algorithms and data enrichment techniques.

The data and insights from both complement each other and provide a deep understanding of the internet.

How does Netcraft ensure the accuracy and reliability of its data collection and analysis processes? Are there any potential limitations or challenges in collecting such extensive data?

Our primary focus at Netcraft is reporting on the internet as-deployed, and, for example, in our Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security data, we report on the certificate used when connecting to a website even when there are many overlapping issued certificates visible in certificate transparency logs.

Equally, we strive to ensure our cybercrime data is as complete as possible by sourcing reports through our anti-cybercrime community, our own searches, and partner data feeds.
