  Surbhi Jain

Big Data is a term for data that possess larger variety, being received in increasing volumes and with ever higher velocity. Data growth, speed and complexity are being driven by application of billions of intelligent sensors and devices that are transmitting data and by other sources of semi-structured and structured data. The data must be assembled on an ongoing basis, analysed, and then used to provide direction to the business by taking valuable decisions. But, as it is said nothing comes for free; it also increases concerns and problems that must be resolved. There are 3 Big Data concerns that should be of remarkable concern: Data Privacy, Data Security and Data Discrimination. In this paper we will discuss what exactly is Big data along with its evolution as solution for analysing torrents of information of present era. The paper also discusses the prime concerns related to Big data security.
