Google takes security to a whole new level thanks to their years of experience as one of the most popular targets on the internet for would-be hackers and denial of service bots. This led Google to build a sophisticated security infrastructure the likes of which few companies or organizations can claim. Google approaches security holistically and involves everything from the physical data centers, to the data pipelines between them, down to the training of each employee that is responsible for managing the infrastructure.

Building Resilient Systems

In all things data, resilience is a real thing. The current business focus on data includes big data, moving data to a cloud and a drive for mobile data. Each of these approaches addresses a different view of the same data by first adding context to understand what the data means, then processing and storing it efficiently, and finally making the contextualized data accessible everywhere. All of these actions sound good and look good in a presentation, but they also introduce security and system failure points. To reduce the failure points as you do something big, something cloud and something mobile with your data, you need to add resilience to your data systems.
