Earlier this year, Unravel released the results of a survey that looked at how organizations are using modern data apps and general trends in big data. There were many interesting findings, but I was most struck by what the survey revealed about security. First, respondents indicated that they get the most value from big data when leveraging it for use in security applications. Fraud detection was listed as the single most effective use case for big data, while cybersecurity intelligence was third.

Back in 1972 the late, great Lou Reed released “Perfect Day”, a slow, dreamy ballad capturing a couple’s perfect day in the park. The song makes me think how strong relationships can make every day perfect. Strong relationships are built on trust.
