Standardization of Ensuring Information Security for Big Data Technologies

Abstract

Evolvement of Big Data technologies demanding huge amounts of data processing and big processing rates, as well as direct and close interactions of complicated systems prompts an idea of urgent improvement in international standards and protocols contributing to working out adequate requirements to modern Big Data technologies' operation. At present, these technologies have stepped far forward and require a new approach due to a change in data operation scale. Interactions with such 'Big Data' have to be regulated by the organizations which formulate requirements for handling huge information sets. At the same time issues of ensuring information security (IS) in such approaches cannot be considered properly worked out nowadays. The paper discusses existing standards in the field of Big Data, where reviewed with a gross emphasis on the adequate ensuring of its IS. This research is focused on how the issues of IS are solved in the existing standards and it attempts to work out some prognostications in the studied area.
