BIG DATA SECRUITY 2
Introduction
Big Data (BD) is a basic need of a firm, which is useful in the management of a large
amount of data of business functions of a firm, such as supply chain, sales, marketing,
inventory, transactions, and many more (Bou-Harb, Debbabi, & Assi, 2016). There are some
issues in the security of the BD, which can be a huge issue in front of a firm. There are
various reasons to break the security of a firm (Bui, 2018). Thus, it is necessary to know
about the relation between different things, which has connected with each other.
Importance for BD Security
There are various types of cyber-attacks, which has used malicious programs to hack
BD. In addition, ransomware is a new threat in front of many firms, which has used poor
security. The report has discussed the ransomware attacks, which is a new trend in the field of
cybercrime. Hackers have infected the victim’s computer systems using malware, which has
encrypted the data of the host system, then ransom is demanded in various forms, such as
Bitcoins (Provin, 2018). This attack was launched through phishing emails, which contain
malicious programs (Buttler, 2017). Moreover, it can be possible, when downloading many
things from compromised websites. It infects the whole system and restricts access to the
files and data (Arlitsch & Edelman, 2014).
In this attack, a huge impact will apply to a firm or individual. It is successful, if
recovery or backup solution is not available at the victim’s end, as it is expensive. The report
has explained about the ransomware with the help of examples. It is a good way to explain
about such types of things (Bendovschi, 2015). The report has provided different variants of
ransomware. Thus, organizations can be avoided by the firms. It is necessary to know about
the pattern, which is useful for protecting systems (Cates, 2018).
Protecting reocrds
It is necessary to protect logs and data of a firm, which has stored in the BD. There
are various impacts of cyber-attacks, which are financial loss, proprietary data loss,
disruption of business, and reputation as well. There are various examples of a lucrative
business, which has provided the field of ransomware. There are many assets in a firm, which
are not secure and upgraded. In addition, it is good for the various victims and the rest of
them (Fruhlinger, 2018).

Furthermore, there are many things to manage in a firm, which can be a reason of
threat and risk. Thus, internet security is necessary for managing IT assets and other
resources (Bird, 2018). Cybercrime and cyber-attacks are increasing day-by-day, which is
not god for the various industries (Chang, 2017). it has described the impact of the cyber-
attacks and other things on a firm with the help of evidence. There are many good things in
the post, which makes it better for learners. There are some basic things to improve the
security of the network and computer systems to avoid the risks form an organization. It
makes better security to avoid cyber-attacks, such as ransomware, and many more
(Cuzzocrea, 2014).
Real-time security and privacy of data
BD is a useful tool to manage all the things in a better way. Moreover, Data can be
managed using BD and its techniques in a better way (Datafloq, 2019). Most of the processes
have used for improving real-time data. Endpoint security is necessary to avoid a few issues
of security, which can be better for companies and clients (Sharma, 2019).
Moreover, people can be used to advance systems to manage such types of issues. It
has provided the role of backup and recovery in a firm. Most of the things can be managed
using the international standard of cybersecurity. Furthermore, ransomware can make a huge
impact on the basic services, which is better for the company as well. There are some specific
reasons behind the cyber-attacks, such as vulnerabilities, risks, and many more. There is
some improvement in the security of the system, which is a good thing for the whole system
as well. Most of the firms have used a high level of security because of financial and
confidential data (Taylor, 2017).
Validation and Filtration
Validation is necessary at the endpoints, as most of the time endpoints are the victims
of cyber-attacks. Thus, a digital identity can be used. It is a persona on online services. This
post has provided various definitions of the digital identity to secure all the things on the
online processes. It described the identity management, which is a process to manage user
identity and resources in the network (Warren, 2011). There are many benefits of security of
various things, such as personal passwords, online accounts, emails, and many more. In
addition, cybersecurity is necessary to secure all the data (Bendovschi, 2015).

Besides, the Australian agencies have provided mitigation strategies for cybercrime
and other works (ACSC, 2019). In addition, trust establishment is necessary for managing
and building a good relationship in the network.
Secure Non-Rational Data Stores
There are different ways to protect BD, such as identity provisioning, authentication,
and authorization, storage management, single-sign-on, and auditing. The post has included a
federated identity system, which is a possible way to improve the basic concepts of digital
identity. It is a system to create trust between different people (Buttler, 2017).
There are various legal, ethical, social rule and responsibilities to manage all the
things in a better way (Warren, 2011). It has described securing digital identity, which is
necessary for managing various things. It has included various methods, which are human
integration, directed identity, user control, and consent. In addition, the Australian
government has provided a code of ethics for all online users to make their rights and duties
better. Moreover, digital identity is necessary for various transactions and processing
(Warren, 2011).
In addition, data ownership is necessary for managing issues in business and other
activities. The post has included these attributes, which are necessary for managing various
things. Besides, security and privacy are a huge fact in the online processing of various
things. A secure system is a basic need, which has provided security, privacy, liability,
interoperability, and more (Sharma, 2019). Moreover, there are many advantages of
cybersecurity, which improve the relationship of people in the online relationship. There are
some vulnerabilities in a system of a firm, which is a reason behind the cybercrime and
cyber-attacks.
Most of the things have used for managing all the things, which is better for managing
all the things. Moreover, people have trust in various things, which are part of the system as
well. its impact on the relationship of different people (Rathi, 2019). Moreover, it is
necessary to improve the basic things in a company to reduce the chances of cybercrime, such
as firewalls, anti-virus, and many more. The network is a common part of various things,
which is a basic need for various services in a firm (Fisch & White, 2017). Furthermore, it
has described all the content in a better way to analyse risks and threats from digital security
issues. It can be reduced using cybersecurity (Bui, 2018).

have related to digital identity. Additionally, cyber-attacks can be reduced using various rules
and regulations. It is good for the improvement of the security and privacy of personal things
(Buttler, 2017). Moreover, cybersecurity is the best way to improve the relationship with the
basic need of the system. All the things can be managed using the proper security of IT assets
and other resources. However, cyber-attacks can be reduced using different processes. Most
of the things can be managed using all the services.
Computer systems can be secured using basic services. Most people have managed
their services using better rules and regulations. The post has provided a good message and
awareness about digital identity. In addition, basic services can b used for managing all the
things in a better way. All things can be secured using better security policies and regulations.
All over the post has provided a better source of information, which has used by the author. It
will improve the knowledge of a person towards present generation identity security
(Cuzzocrea, 2014).
Furthermore, BD is a basic tool to manage a large amount of data on the business
functions of a firm. In addition, security is an important part of the end of the firm as well as
customers (Sharma, 2019). Many firms have adopted a risk assessment framework to
analyze the risks and threats of their processes. In addition, cryptography can be a proper
solution to privacy and security issues in the firm. Moreover, BD can be used for new
emerging technologies and algorithms for improving security (Bird, 2018).
Conclusion
In conclusion, BD security is an important part, as it can be a huge loss for a firm if its
BD has compromised in cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity is another factor, which can improve
