Introduction
Big Data may well be the Next Big Thing in the IT world.
Big data burst upon the scene in the first decade of the 21st century.
The first organizations to embrace it were online and startup firms. Firms like Google,
eBay, LinkedIn, and Face book were built around big data from the beginning.
Like many new information technologies, big data can bring about dramatic cost
reductions, substantial improvements in the time required to perform a computing task, or
new product and service offerings.

but having data bigger it requires different approaches:
Techniques, tools and architecture
an aim to solve new problems or old problems in a better way

Decoding the human genome originally took 10 years to process; now it can be achieved
in one week.

human ingenuity can devise, which are resorted to by one individual, to get an advantage
by false means
Corporate Fraud: Corporate fraud is any fraud committed by, for, or against a business
corporation.
Management Fraud: Management fraud is the intentional misrepresentation of
corporate or unit performance levels
Fraud
One of the most common forms of fraudulent activity is credit card fraud.
Social media and mobile phones are forming the new frontiers for fraud.
Risk
It would be an understatement to say that risk management is data-driven
The two most common types of risk management are credit risk management and market
risk management.
Credit risk analytics focus on past credit behaviors to predict
Market risk analytics focus on understanding the likelihood that the value of a portfolio
will decrease due to the change in stock prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates.
