Abstract
With the Big Data phenomenon, the volume of data and information that is generated, processed, stored and used for decision making is increasing at an expressive speed and one of the great challenges is to ensure that this data and information is and remains reliable. One of the characteristics related to Big Data environments is called veracity and refers to the quality and credibility of the data, since it is fundamental that the data is reliable to produce reliable information. This article aims to perform an analysis of the technological mechanisms of information security, identifying those that contribute to increase the accuracy of data in Big Data environments. As a result of this study, a set of requirements related to the veracity of the data was identified and for each of these requirements the use of information security mechanisms was proposed. This article intends to contribute with new research on the subject of Information Security within Information Science, since it will present a reflection on the mechanisms available to treat information security, contributing to the increase of the reliability of information generated from environments that involve large amounts of data.
