What is Big Data? What is Cyber security?
Definitions
Big data – term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.
Cyber security – the state of being protected against the criminal or unauthorized use of electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this.

“Big data and network science are going to merge, marrying the internet of data with the internet of things in new ways, and this will be world changing. Just as in the 1800s there was a shift from electricity as a curiosity to a commodity made possible by the emergence of electrical engineering, so too now are we in the midst of a shift in data as a commodity, and more importantly as a resource, in ways not previously imagined” — Shirley Ann Jackson, RPI

—It’s more than just the technical aspects. Legal, economic, personal, etc. Privacy implications, living implications, to the point where our most important functions in society have moved to a cyber world.
