Network Security Strategies in Big Data Context

Big data allows organizations to process massive and complex data to extract hidden patterns, draw insights, and also to share data through the network. Data that transit in an organization network is often sensitive and requires an efficient and secure platform. For this reason, network security has been brought to the forefront in the Big data era. In this context, network security platforms have to deal with vast and complex information to predict and prevent potential attacks in real-time. However, these platforms are often based on traditional approaches, which make them unreliable to secure big data. In this paper, we mainly focus on network security and protection strategies of big data. First, we highlight factors affecting network security platforms in the Big data era. Then, we go through different big data strategies that allow ensuring security across networks while surveying recent researches.
