Security in Cloud Computing and Big Data

Dear Colleagues,

Although there are many benefits to adopting Cloud Computing (collaboration, agility, scalability, availability, ability cost reduction, efficient computing), there are also some significant barriers to adoption. One of the most significant barriers to adoption is security, followed by issues regarding compliance, privacy, and legal matters.
Big Data technologies describe a new generation of technologies and architectures, designed so organizations like yours can economically extract value from very large volumes of a wide variety of data by enabling high-velocity capture, discovery, and/or analysis. This new technology raises new risks due to more volume and variety of data. Issues related to data security and privacy are one of the main concern in today’s era of “big data.” It is necessary to know before of involving in big data, which are the most important security needs, requirements, and aspects to assure a high security level in our applications, transactions, data processing, and decision management.
