Dark Data
|
Dark
data is digital information that is not being used. Consulting and
market research company Gartner Inc. describes dark data as "information
assets that an organization collects, processes and stores in the course of
its regular business activity, but generally fails to use for other
purposes."
Many
times, an organization may leave data dark for practical reasons. The data
may be dirty and by the time it can be scrubbed, the information may be too
old to be useful. In such a scenario, records may contain incomplete or
outdated data, be parsed incorrectly or be stored in file formats or on
devices that have become obsolete.
Increasingly,
the term dark data is being associated with big data and operational data.
Examples include server log files that could provide clues to website visitor
behavior, customer call detail records that incorporate unstructured consumer
sentiment data and mobile geolocation data that could reveal traffic patterns
that would help with business planning.
Potentially,
this type of dark data can be used to drive new revenue sources, eliminate
waste and reduce costs. As a result, many organizations that store dark data
for regulatory compliance purposes are using Hadoop to identify useful dark
bits and map them to possible business uses.

Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 King James Version
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they
have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all
is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to
dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the
spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

The US-CERT
Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have
been recorded by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National
Vulnerability Database (NVD) in the past week The NVD is sponsored
by the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration
Center (NCCIC) / United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team
(US-CERT). For modified or updated entries, please visit the NVD,
which contains historical vulnerability information.
The
vulnerabilities are based on the CVE vulnerability naming standard and are
organized according to severity, determined by the Common
Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standard. The division of high,
medium, and low severities correspond to the following scores:
·
High - Vulnerabilities
will be labeled High severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0 - 10.0
·
Medium - Vulnerabilities
will be labeled Medium severity if they have a CVSS base score of 4.0 - 6.9
·
Low - Vulnerabilities
will be labeled Low severity if they have a CVSS base score of 0.0 - 3.9
Entries may
include additional information provided by organizations and efforts sponsored
by US-CERT. This information may include identifying information, values,
definitions, and related links. Patch information is provided when available.
Please note that some of the information in the bulletins is compiled from
external, open source reports and is not a direct result of US-CERT analysis.
The NCCIC
Weekly Vulnerability Summary Bulletin is created using information from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National
Vulnerability Database (NVD). In some cases, the vulnerabilities in
the bulletin may not yet have assigned CVSS scores. Please visit NVD for
updated vulnerability entries, which include CVSS scores once they are
available.
