an omnipresent need for security and robust detection schemes to protect critical network infrastructures. Cyber-threats are signicantly more dangerous than they have ever been and are growing in number and sophistication. Due to the widespread nature of cyber-threats (e.g., malware propagation), large-scale trac monitoring across networks has become an essential part of eectively detecting and defending against contemporary cyber-attacks. Nonetheless, large-scale threat monitoring over distributed networks leads to extremely Big Data from monitored end-hosts and network devices [1].
