Abstract
The use of Big Data has become common in organizations of all types. Advances in information technology, lower costs of storage of massive amounts of data coupled with increasing sophistication of business processes, and complex compliance and administrative requirements compel modern organizations to store, manage, and rely upon massive stores of data in their daily operations. Industries such as healthcare, securities, and banking use large troves of data and information. These industries have seen a number of notable recent lawsuits involving the use of Big Data analytics. This chapter provides a discussion of several notable cases involving these industries.
