Big Data on National Security
January 15, 2013
Big Data is all the buzz these days and its impact on national security, or security in general, is really growing. Security implications are obvious when technologists start talking about extracting data from minute data. On that note, Cloudera is hosting a forum on the national security of implications of Big Data on January 30th. The conversation is focused on Apache Hadoop. Read all the details in Bob Gourley’s blog entry, “Are You Architecting Sensemaking Solutions in the National Security Space? Register for 30 Jan Federal Big Data Forum Sponsored by Cloudera.”
Gourley begins:
“Friends at Cloudera are lead sponsors and coordinators of a new Big Data Forum focused on Apache Hadoop. The first, which will be held 30 January 2013 in Columbia Maryland, will be focused on lessons learned of use to the national security community. This is primarily for practitioners and leaders fielding real working Big Data solutions on Apache Hadoop and related technologies.”
The forum would be worth a look for those in this line of work. Many open source vendors, particularly those who deal with Big Data, are trying to address the issue of national security. LucidWorks is another company making an impact on security with its Big Data work. Their partnership with ISS brings their Big Data solutions to the federal government to tackle Special Operations, Counter-Drug, and Counter-Terrorism among others.
