Big data security context

I just finished up a lengthy tour through Latin America and Asia, as described
in many of my latest blogs. Most recently I was in Australia and New Zealand
(ANZ). I had the opportunity to work with various government agencies,
organizations within critical infrastructure and general enterprise businesses
across ANZ. Their primary topic of interest: big data. More specifically, they
were interested in determining what needs to be part of a successful big data
security strategy.
