风口浪尖上的猪

今天跟几个同事吃饭，谈新产品，新市场，和风险投资。

几个问题， 同一本质。

我引用了国内一著名天使投资人的话： 风口浪尖处，猪都可以飞起来。

大家深有同感，吃饱而散。。。 嗝嗝。

What big data means to computer security industry?

We are in the era of big data.  What big data means to us?   Especially, as a security professional, what big data means to me?

Big data platform ( with Hadoop, NoSQL and the like)  provides a cost effective distributed computing   infrastructure.

As such, the following 3 problems make big data relevant to security:
(a)  Data security for big data:  First of all,  big data is data literally.  However, to handle large volume of data and for data streams on a distributed computing environment,  one needs to re-evaluate the traditional data security technologies.
(b)  Security  for Big Data Framework:   There are needs to protect Hadoop, NoSQL and etc.  for their vulnerabilities.  It is like to handle security issues for various OS.
(c) Big data analytics  for  security intelligence:  it  may be a powerful approach to fight against APT.

Mathematical Entrepreneurship

A few years ago, I started to identify myself as a mathematical entrepreneur due to my professional experience as both a mathematician and entrepreneur .


Today, I noticed a workshop "Fostering mathematical entrepreneurship: creating new businesses for  impact & wealth" organized by IMA: http://www.ima.umn.edu/2011-2012/SW8.1-3.12/.

So this notion of  mathematical entrepreneurship and its practice has been accepted even in academic community.   How exciting!
