The RSA
conference is now over and “Big Data Security” was the buzzword floating around
like a turd in a truck stop toilet. Companies are collecting more and more data
on their customers than ever before increasing their need to secure it (or at
least pretend that it is secure). Needless to say I am not a supporter of “Big
Data” and I am definitely against storing it in the “Cloud”. The more
confidential data companies possess the more attractive they become to the
villains and the higher the risk that a data breach could severely cripple them
or bankrupt their company. Oh who am I kidding I don’t give a rat’s ass about
the greedy corporations (except for the one I work for… please don’t fire me…)
but I do care about all of the personal data of the people that will be in the
hands of the villains. I have also noticed that lately there have been a lot of
people asking the government to protect their data. Really let’s ask the most
unorganized and corrupt people in the cesspool to watch our laptop and wallet
while we take a piss (I don’t see how this could possibly be a bad idea). Big
Data Security is just another rabbit hole for the information security professionals
to jump down (there is an RSA product for that… yeah whatever…).
