The 2nd International Workshop on Big Data Analytics, Security and Privacy

(BiDAS 2018)
May 08, 2018, Essaouira, Morocco

(Co-located with NETYS 2018)

Springer CCIS

Scope

Big Data systems are complex and heterogeneous, and their security must be fundamentally approached. Moreover, Big Data Systems lead to the integration of different technologies that introduce new security issues that must be properly addressed. In addition, the ongoing digitalization of the business world is putting companies and users at risk of cyberattacks more than ever before. Big data analysis has the potential to offer protection against these attacks. Therefore, the goal of the workshop is two-fold: First, it addresses security issues of big data systems while considering: the infrastructure security, the data privacy, the data management, and the integrity and reactive security. Second, the workshop will address the innovative techniques, metrics, and behavior analysis that can exploit big data analytics capabilities to address the cybersecurity challenges facing cyberspace resources and services.

Topics of interest of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Big Data Security

  • Infrastructure Security
    • Security for Hadoop clusters
    • Security for Big Data ecosystems
