The challenge presented by big data
Today, big data is often a byproduct of your digital interactions and, as such, it grows exponentially. These days, it is a simple and inexpensive matter to gather data and we are presented with increasing opportunities and channels to do so; via software logs, mobile phones, wireless networks and cameras to name but a few.
The challenge consists of handling all this data in the form of storage, interpretation, and analysis, as well as meeting applicable regulations for information security and confidentiality.
