Problems with Big Data

Although Big Data has made its impact on industries across the globe, various problems have arisen on the surface. Like many other data-related things, issues cannot be escaped. However, here these problems are rather serious and concerning.

Although many experts are looking for ways to solve or to minimize those issues, the problems don’t seem to end. It is important those issues to be resolved as soon as possible. Companies use valuable data and information and they have to do their best at protecting them. They have to design and create secure databases and responsibly work in it.

Fake data generation

Due to the lack of security, a large number of cybercriminals are able to hack into ones database and generate fake data in your name. Once they have successfully created false information, they place in your data lake. A data lake is a place where a centralized repository happens. It is a place that enables you to store all of your data. This includes both structured and unstructured data.

Many businesses that rely on real-time analytics have to take measures to protect your data.

Data Security

We know that Big Data is used in industries to better provide services for the individual. However, as Big Data increases in size, many of our devices expose personal data – thus resulting in security breaches. This is a problem that becomes more difficult and complex to solve every single day.

First, there are very few experts that are able to provide security for all businesses out there. Although this issue can be resolved by continuously analyzing data, it is not an easy solution. It becomes more difficult to analyze the data and determine which of it is false and which isn’t.

Data Anonymity

In today’s era, it is impossible to be anonymous on the internet. In order to achieve that, you have to have some kind of a superpower. As many businesses, companies and organizations use Big Data in order to grow bigger, it becomes a challenge to keep your privacy.

Data is the main driving point of them, and that is why they have to use and collect as much as possible. In the beginning, it was obvious when your data was being used. However, as technologies and other AI systems have improved, the collection of data has improved as well. It has become untraceable and unrecognizable.

Many individuals have exposed so much of their personal data and identification factors. This erases the whole semblance of privacy an individual should have.

A large number of these companies and brands use your data to share and exchange it with others. This is all done without your prior knowledge or consent. Overall, in the vast ocean of information, almost everyone has a whole image of you.

As the world has become more digitalized, it is important to know how to handle and protect data. In order to effectively build connections and loyalty with customers, businesses have to create platforms that will be safe for its clients.
