<p>India is moving towards a developed country and thus knowledge cultivation is very much required and in this context introducing new age programs and degrees are essential. This is required for the creation of next generation skills and knowledge as per industrial and organizational demands including Government etc. Data Science is about managing the large amount and complex data, moreover, it is also known as Big Data Technologies. Due to the wider requirement in different universities and organizations, many international universities have started academic programs on Data Sciences and Big Data. However, a large number of institutes are located in India but only a few offer programs on Data Science and Allied Technologies. Importantly most these are listed in Engineering Colleges and few Private Universities. Universities in this regard adopted both full-fledged degrees and specialization methods to offer the Data Sciences and Allied Technologies. This paper is theoretical and contextual in nature, but also purely interdisciplinary in nature combines with education, information technology, and managerial science to learn about the status and future of qualified and skilled manpower. However, the paper is specially focused on private universities only with a brief overview of the technologies in international universities. </p>

Today constant increase in number of cyber threats apparently shows that current countermeasures are not enough to defend it. With the help of huge generated data, big data brings transformative potential for various sectors. While many are using it for better operations, some of them are noticing that it can also be used for security by providing broader view of vulnerabilities and risks. Meanwhile, deep learning is coming up as a key role by providing predictive analytics solutions. Deep learning and big data analytics are becoming two high-focus of data science. Threat intelligence becoming more and more effective. Since it is based on how much data collected about active threats, this reason has taken many independent vendors into partnerships. In this chapter, we explore big data and big data analytics with its benefits. And we provide a brief overview of deep analytics and finally we present collaborative threat Detection. We also investigate some aspects of standards and key functions of it. We conclude by presenting benefits and challenges of collaborative threat detection.

AbstractBig data and cloud computing technology appeared on the scene as new trends due to the rapid growth of social media usage over the last decade. Big data represent the immense volume of complex data that show more details about behaviours, activities, and events that occur around the world. As a result, big data analytics needs to access diverse types of resources within a decreased response time to produce accurate and stable business experimentation that could help make brilliant decisions for organizations in real-time. These developments have spurred a revolutionary transformation in research, inventions, and business marketing. User behaviour analysis for classification and prediction is one of the hottest topics in data science. This type of analysis is performed for several purposes, such as finding users’ interests about a product (for marketing, e-commerce, etc.) or toward an event (elections, championships, etc.) and observing suspicious activities (security and privacy) based on their traits over the Internet. In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy approach for the classification and prediction of user behaviour is proposed. A dataset, composed of users’ temporal logs containing three types of information, namely, local machine, network and web usage logs, is targeted. To complement the analysis, each user’s 360-degree feedback is also utilized. Various rules have been implemented to address the company’s policy for determining the precise behaviour of a user, which could be helpful in managerial decisions. For prediction, a Gaussian Radial Basis Function Neural Network (GRBF-NN) is trained based on the example set generated by a Fuzzy Rule Based System (FRBS) and the 360-degree feedback of the user. The results are obtained and compared with other state-of-the-art schemes in the literature, and the scheme is found to be promising in terms of classification as well as prediction accuracy.

Dimension reduction or feature selection is thought to be the backbone of big data applications in order to improve performance. Many scholars have shifted their attention in recent years to data science and analysis for real-time applications using big data integration. It takes a long time for humans to interact with big data. As a result, while handling high workload in a distributed system, it is necessary to make feature selection elastic and scalable. In this study, a survey of alternative optimizing techniques for feature selection are presented, as well as an analytical result analysis of their limits. This study contributes to the development of a method for improving the efficiency of feature selection in big complicated data sets.

The Governments, military forces and other organisations responsible for cybersecurity deal with vast amounts of data that has to be understood in order to lead to intelligent decision making. Due to the vast amounts of information pertinent to cybersecurity, automation is required for processing and decision making, specifically to present advance warning of possible threats. The ability to detect patterns in vast data sets, and being able to understanding the significance of detected patterns are essential in the cyber defence domain. Big data technologies supported by semantic technologies can improve cybersecurity, and thus cyber defence by providing support for the processing and understanding of the huge amounts of information in the cyber environment. The term big data analytics refers to advanced analytic techniques such as machine learning, predictive analysis, and other intelligent processing techniques applied to large data sets that contain different data types. The purpose is to detect patterns, correlations, trends and other useful information. Semantic technologies is a knowledge representation paradigm where the meaning of data is encoded separately from the data itself. The use of semantic technologies such as logic-based systems to support decision making is becoming increasingly popular. However, most automated systems are currently based on syntactic rules. These rules are generally not sophisticated enough to deal with the complexity of decisions required to be made. The incorporation of semantic information allows for increased understanding and sophistication in cyber defence systems. This paper argues that both big data analytics and semantic technologies are necessary to provide counter measures against cyber threats. An overview of the use of semantic technologies and big data technologies in cyber defence is provided, and important areas for future research in the combined domains are discussed.

Big Data Analytics is a major branch of data science where the huge amount raw data is processed to get insight for relevant business processes. Integration of big data, its analytics along with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is need of the hour, such integration shall render reusability and scalability to various business processes. This chapter explains the concept of Big Data and Big Data Analytics at its implementation level. The Chapter further describes Hadoop and its technologies which are one of the popular frameworks for Big Data Analytics and envisage integrating SOA with relevant case studies. The chapter demonstrates the SOA integration with Big Data through, two case studies of two different scenarios are incorporated that integrates real world implementation with theory and enables better understanding of the industrial level processes and practices.

The importance of big data over analytics made the process of solving various real-world problems simpler. The big data and data science tool box provided a realm of data preparation, data analysis, implementation process, and solutions. Data connections over any data source, data preparation for analysis has been made simple with the availability of tremendous tools in data analytics package. Some of the analytical tools include R programming, python programming, rapid analytics, and weka. The patterns and the granularity over the observed data can be fetched with the visualizations and data observations. This chapter provides an insight regarding the types of analytics in a big data perspective with the realm in applicability towards healthcare data. Also, the processing paradigms and techniques can be clearly observed through the chapter contents.
