Main body
Identify and discussing Big Data and its role of Arden University
Arden University was accepted in 1990 by resource development international. It is a
teaching private profit firm in the UK which provides distance learning with various
undergraduates and post graduates program. The concept of big data was used in 1990 by John
Mashey. Big data refer to a ground where data are too complex or large which are analyzed
systematically for extracting information and dealing with data sets. It involves data processing
application offering statistical power. The examination of Big data involves data capturing, data
analysis, data search, sharing, storing, and transferring, visualization, querying regarding data,
updating, information, privacy, and data source. It requires the collection of giant volume data
involving the data with their sizes of capacity in software for processing in accepted time, and
value. Big data is connected with various basic elements.

 Volume- It defines the size which is huge in determining value out of data. While dealing
with big data volume is a characteristic which is measured. The university collects data
from several of sources, involving social media and information from sensor, business
transactions, or machine-to-machine data (Batko 2021).
 Variety- It defines to assorted source including structured and unstructured data. The data
applications are analyzed in the form of emails, monitoring devices, photos, videos,
PDFs, audio, etc. The variety of unstructured data has issues for mining and analyzing
data, storage of data. In earlier times spreadsheets and database where used.
 Velocity- It is related to generating speed of data. The big data of velocity examines the
speediness of data how it meets the demand and data potential by processing and
generating quickly. The data flows in various sources like business processes, social
media sites, sensors, application logs, networks and Mobile devices, etc. The data flow is
enormous and continuous.
 Value- By analyzing the data it defines the profitability of the information in terms of
valuable. It is a measurement of the quality in big data.
 Variability- It defines the change in characteristic of format, structure and sources in big
data. It is a combination of structure and unstructured data integrating and transforming
raw data from manifold sources.
 Veracity- It defines the reliability by having the combination of data value and data
quality which is required to achieve value. The capturing of data quality is great
providing accurate analysis (Fedosova and et.al., 2017).
Role of big data
The Big data has vast role in providing the choices between the colleges, universities as
they utilize the big data in various interesting way which increase their profit margin and
attendance of the school through students and teachers. The role of big data in human resource
department helps in informing and improving various areas related to training, recruitment,

quickly and easily which saves the funds in the long run.
 Quick in decision making- The universities and college information is stored at one
centralized location, which saves time by the use of big data as it helps in finding one
specific report or information about a particular student. It helps in making quick decision
which improves the stability of enrollments.
 Improvement in student performance- The big data analytics helps the students to stay on
course of having better grades. It tracks and compares academic results and test performance
with the earlier performance. It also provides the guidance through teacher notes and social
media which gives an insight to student behavior for increasing performance
(Mukhopadhyay and et.al., 2017).
IT security and data privacy
IT security defines a set of cyber security which is a strategy used for stopping the
unauthorized access of organizational assets such as computers, networks, and data. The
computer system and network are protected from the damage of hardware, software and
electronic data. It also protects from disclosure of information. The IT security has a threat from

malware which includes ransom ware, spyware and viruses. The field of IT security has
increased in many ways with the introduction of internet providing wireless network of
Bluetooth and WI-FI. The IT security has gained the growth in smart devices of smart phone,
television etc.
Data privacy is the practice which determines the sharing of data by customers. Data
privacy is a distribution of data security related with the proper managing of data including
notice, consent, and regulatory obligations. The data privacy is also known as information
privacy where an individual has a right to control its personal information of knowing how it’s
being used and utilized. It is an important aspect for consumer protection The various types of
information technology security include network security, internet security, end point security,
and application and cloud security. Data privacy builds the trust and accountability with
customers, investors and partners by managing and keeping their information in privacy.
The measure of IT security and data privacy that should be implemented in organization
to keep their business data, cash flow and safe their customers online includes-
 Use of strong password- The Strong passwords is critical for online security. The
combination of capital and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols is used for creating
password between eight and 12 characters long. It avoids the use of personal data which
should be changed regularly. The password provides the benefit of two factor
authentication and never used for multiple accounts again. A password policy is created
for the organization to help staff by using security in best practices (Saghafi and et.al.,
2018).
 Firewalls- Firewalls are effective gatekeepers between the computer and internet which
helps in preventing the increase of cyber threats such as viruses and malware. The
firewall devices should be properly set up in the organization to ensure they have the
updated software/firmware installed by keep checking regularly.
 Install Reliable Antivirus Software- A good and reliable antivirus program, anti-malware
software is crucial for cyber security system which helps in defending unwanted attacks
on the security network. It helps in detecting and removing virus and malware, adware

and spyware from the computer network and provides scanning, harmful downloads and
emails are filter.
