Digital forensics analyst can benefit from understanding the best practices and various technologies involved in processing big data. Ultimately, one can better understand how big data can be used to prevent or solve digital crimes. This paper will cover fundamental aspects of big data in order to better understand how it has a direct effect on Digital forensics. We will be beginning by using a literature study to define the terms and concepts of both big data and digital forensics. We will then look at big data analytic tools and trends, as well as discuss their strengths and weakness. Furthermore we will discuss how big data played a major part in uncovering information in the recent Panama papers saga.

The paper also includes a recommendation on how to integrate protocols to ensure failproof data security. The study includes a comparative analysis of Blockchain and the widely used Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol.

This technology may affect the role of IT directors in the future as it provides ways to effectively automate governance practices. The paper details a comparative analysis of decision-making factors in hierarchical organisations and decentralised autonomous organisations. The study suggests that although these modern organisations facilitate collaboration and decision making for directors, it is recommended that directors lean more toward influence-oriented skills as opposed to traditional control-based governance approaches. This can be done by making use of tacit knowledge, acting as the facilitators and relinquishing certain aspects of traditional powers and authority to the participants in an organisations.
