#### 4.3.2 Vulnerability  
Collecting and analyzing data also has ethical and privacy implications, which is one of the weaknesses of Big Data in this field. This is a valid concern, especially in sensitive fields like health, which attaches great importance to patient privacy and data security. As organizations collect vast amounts of data, data ownership and control issues, as well as consent and privacy rights, are becoming more urgent. This makes it even more important for organizations to maintain tight, ethical data practices. Compliance with strict data privacy regulations -- such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe [62], and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the USA [63] -- is vital. In the same vein, these frameworks charge organizations with taking responsibility for their security measures and also provide guidelines around how they use people's data.  
For example, in healthcare, there are exact anonymization techniques (k-anonymity and differential privacy), not to mention the approach adopted during data analysis, which ensures that patient identities are never disclosed. These practices enable us to extract value from data in a way that accords with privacy regulations.  
Additionally, there is a growing trend for organizations to add ethical implications to their Big Data analytics. For data analytics, IBM's Watson for Health and Microsoft AI for Good initiatives [64; 65] leverage AI-powered tools and frameworks to ensure compliance with responsible AI principles. They help organizations comply with increasingly stringent regulations while greasing the wheels and improving stakeholder trust by showing a willingness to be responsible in data governance.  
Applications being built to process Big Data for business face a significant challenge: identifying the business-specific insights buried in the sea of information. For instance, a retail company might gather amounts of massive sales data, but identifying patterns or discussing customer prediction quickly becomes challenging. These are contexts where specialized analytics platforms (such as Google BigQuery [66]) and machine learning tools (like TensorFlow [67]) come into the picture. The analysis of Big Data uses technologies that identify trends, determine how a consumer behaves, and then predict customer actions. This, in turn, improves inventory management.

can use predictive analytics to accurately predict demand and plan for supplying the right products at the right time to meet customer demands.  
The true value of Big Data comes from their responsible and ethical use. By complying with data protection regulations, employing advanced anonymization techniques, and integrating AI-driven analytics, organizations can harness the power of Big Data while safeguarding ethical standards and maintaining public trust.  
As can be seen from Figure 12, the framework recommends tools such as AWS for data governance, Talend and Apache NiFi for dynamic anonymization, and IBM Guardium for threat detection in order to ensure secure and efficient data management. Additionally, Tableau and Google BigQuery provide advanced analytics, while Splunk and IBM Watson facilitate compliance, transparency, and ethical decision-making throughout the data lifecycle.
