Can big data be used to protect the big data industry from hackers, reports Forbes. 

Big data has immense value, but there is little doubt it remains extremely vulnerable to hackers and malicious actors. 

Cyber attacks are imminent. According to a ThreatPost article, “Most organizations have experienced some type of attack within the course of a year, with only 7 percent of respondents claiming not to have experienced an attack at all.” An organization must change their rationale from “what will we do if we get attacked” to “what will be do when we get attacked.”  Having a solid plan will decrease the time it takes to fend off the attack and save the company thousands of dollars.
