The success of huge online companies, like Google, Facebook and Yahoo, in using Big Data techniques to manage very large volumes of data – think terabytes and petabytes of information – has meant that many large organisations worldwide are working to develop and deploy Big Data facilities alongside their established business intelligence infrastructure.
This phenomenon is still the new kid on the block and, as a result, few standards are currently in place to ensure that these new systems are successfully integrated into existing policy frameworks that guarantee governance, compliance and security.

This article shows comprehensive solutions to ensure the security of sensitive information in Big Data environments, without impairing their operational flexibility or performance.
