Avec le Big Data RH, quel degré d’implication pour le recruteur ? Article publié le 02/04/2014 Où en est actuellement le Big Data auprès des entreprises françaises et dans quels secteurs se développe-t-il ? Selon une étude du cabinet IDC pour la société allemande de vente de logiciels SAP, 19 % des entreprises françaises de plus de 100 salariés pilotent actuellement un projet Big Data. Si jusqu’à présent, le grand public connaissait surtout le Big Data dans le domaine du marketing, il se développe aussi dans les secteurs de la maintenance, de la logistique, des transports, de la finance, de l’assurance, de la santé, des réseaux énergétiques (…) ou encore dans celui des ressources humaines.

News - Bad guys v the data defenders: Let battle commence 6 March 2014Last updated at 19:04 ET By Mark Ward Technology correspondent, BBC News The bad guys are becoming easier to spot due to big data analytics, but criminals are changing their tactics Big data analytics is making it easier to spot the bad guys looking to infiltrate business defences. And these days, businesses need every weapon at their disposal, as bedroom hackers give way to organised criminal gangs. Lose your data and you can lose your reputation, customers, and even your business. This week, US retail giant Target Corporation, which suffered a massive theft of customer data last year, offloaded its chief information officer, Beth Jacob, as part of a major overhaul of its security practices. Stolen details of about 360 million customer accounts are now available on cyber black markets, according to security firms. External data leaks affected more than 160 million people in 2012, according to KPMG's Data Loss Barometer, a rise of 40% on the year before. Small needle, big haystack
News - Big Data: Are you ready for blast-off? As Technology of Business begins a month-long series of features on the theme of Big Data, we kick off with a Q&A backgrounder answering some of those basic questions you were too afraid to ask. What is big data exactly? Good question. After all, we've always had large amounts of data haven't we, from loyalty card schemes, till receipts, medical records, tax returns and so on?

There was a proliferation of so-called unstructured data generated by all our digital interactions, from email to online shopping, text messages to tweets, Facebook updates to YouTube videos.
