Big Data Analytics Security Issues and Solutions in Healthcare

Proactive healthcare and fitness are necessary in light of the rising expense of healthcare and rising health insurance rates. Furthermore, the healthcare sector has witnessed a paradigm shift due to the recent wave of medical record digitization. As a result, the sheer volume of data—in terms of complexity and diversity—in the healthcare sector is rising. Increasing the value of an organization’s information is a goal as data has become a strategic asset. Petabytes of data, including online logs and social media information, are being stored and analyzed by an increasing number of businesses utilizing technology to learn more about their operations. Big data analytics gives businesses a significant competitive edge by assisting them in tailoring their products to the needs of consumers and referring to electronic health data sets associated with patient healthcare and well-being. Big data security issues are a key concern in healthcare because data is subject to the International Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). As healthcare professionals search for every avenue to reduce expenses while enhancing the quality, delivery, and administration of care, big data appears as a potential answer that has the potential to completely change the healthcare sector. This paradigm change in healthcare from reactive to proactive can ultimately contribute to economic development and a reduction in overall healthcare expenses as the healthcare sector utilizes big data, security concerns, and the growing number of new threats and vulnerabilities. This study aims to use state-of-the-art security issues in big data and propose alternative workable security solutions to leverage the potential of big data related to healthcare in a highly regulated environment.
