3 Major Subheads Covered:

Key Insights on Big Data Architecture

  • Big Data is Distributed architecture eg. Hadoop
  • Data Partition, Replication and Distribution among nodes
  • 2 types of data- Hot(used more frequently) & Cold data(used less frequently)
  • Auto-Tiering feature- Hot data->high performance disk drive & Cold data->low performance disk drive
  • Easier to move Code instead of Data
  • Real Time Streaming and Computation
  • Collects data from various sources -Social Media,Meter Metadata,GIS etc.
  • Supports AdHoc Queries
  • Massive Parallel & Powerful Programming Framework

Top 5 Big Data Security Risks 

  • Insecure Computation - Risks of loss of sensitive data, DOS, Data Corruption
  • Input Validation and Filtering - Huge data flow, Challenge to validate the sources & Behavioral data, Risk of Rogue code
  • Granular Access Control - Performance Vs Security, AdHoc Queries can reveal sensitive data,Access Control default disabled
  • Insecure Data Storage(in nodes) - Authorization, Authentication & Encryption is challenging, Autotiering -> Moves cold data to less secure medium, Secure communication -> Between End user & Node is disabled by default
  • Privacy concern in data control & Analytics - Monetization models mostly include this, Sharing these results face challenges like privacy & marketing intrusion, Unintentional data disclose
    Example-AOL, Netflix

Top 5 Best Practices

  • Secure computation code
  • Implement Comprehensive Input Validation & Filtering
  • Implement Granular Access Control
  • Secure Data Storage and Computation
  • Review & Implement Privacy (preserving data mining & analytics)
