A utilização da tecnologia Big Data no âmbito do Sistema de Inteligência de Defesa (SINDE): oportunidades e desafios

Abstract

The Digital Era marks the beginning of a period in which new technologies, such as Big Data, can provide opportunities and gains previously unimaginable in what concerns the collection and analysis of data, generating information with high added value. Thus, the objective of this work is to identify and analyze the opportunities and challenges related to the use of Big Data technology within the scope of the Defense Intelligence System (SINDE), with the purpose of presenting a potential improvement in the assistance provided by the System to decision- making processes of the Defense Sector and in the production of knowledge, using Big Data. For that, the methodology of applied research was used in the construction of this article, with a qualitative approach, in a descriptive way. The analysis found in an inductive and exploratory way, involving bibliographic, documentary and legislation survey. This resulted in structuring the study in four chapters. In the first, they are attributions and characteristics of Big Data technology. Then, the article discusses the importance of SINDE's advice for decision-making processes carried out in the sphere of the Defense Sector. In the third chapter, identification and analysis of challenges and opportunities in the use of Big Data are carried out within the scope of Intelligence Agencies, particularly at SINDE. Finally, the last chapter is for the final end of the study. The conclusion of the work points to gains in advising SINDE on decision-making processes conducted within the scope of the Defense Sector with the use of Big Data technology, highlighting the importance of identifying and analyzing associated opportunities and challenges.
