The field of research and business applications in the field of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data database systems has been developing strongly for several years.
There were hacking theft of personal, sensitive and secret data regarding users of social networks.
Are the results of research known, or are you familiar with publications describing risk management processes in the area of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data systems run by technological internet companies such as Google, Facebook, etc.
Technological internet companies such as Google, Facebook, etc. have the ability to obtain classified, sensitive and personal data from the Internet about the users of websites, including search engines and social media portals, who use these information services.
For the needs of these considerations, the issue of the security of classified data stored in Big Data database systems run by internet technology companies managing social media portals should be added.
There have been frequent thefts made by cybercriminals who, from these Big Data systems, stole classified and sensitive information about hundreds of thousands or millions of users of particular social media portals.
The development of social media portals therefore generates an increased risk of theft of data on users of social media portals.
Therefore, technological internet companies that run social media portals but also other companies that collect large amounts of data about users of specific, information services should continually develop and improve risk management systems for potential data loss from Big Data information resources.
Due to the above, in many companies, especially in large corporations, integrated risk management systems are built and improved.
Integrated risk management systems combine risk management processes in various areas of a company, institution or other organization.
One of the areas of risk management, the importance of which in many companies is growing, is risk management in the area of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data database systems.
In view of the above, I am asking you: Is the risk of cybercriminal attacks on Big Data database systems that contain personal data of social media portal users growing?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
