Big Data Privacy Issues & Solutions

As we all know that the 21 century is the century of Big Data. This data is the raw material for the production of immense social and economic values. This leads to a massive increase in data storage and data mining. The increasing number of people, sensors, and devices are the main causes of big data. This data creates great value for the innovation, productivity, efficiency, and growth of the global economy. But at the same time this data generates a “data deluge” which generates privacy concerns; as a result, it creates a backlash dampening the economy of the data and the innovation. So to maintain the privacy of individuals and the production of the data we need to create some advanced policies which can effectively work on big data because the policies or algorithms which we have are not so much advanced that they can deal with that much amount of data on the timely basis. This paper presents the privacy issues which come across dealing with big data and suggests a few ways to protect the data-intensive information systems.
