Abstract. Trends in the IT sector are constantly evolving, and the ability to anticipate new developments is a key factor in an organization’s success in managing digital resources, including big data. The aim of this study is to explore and analyze big data in order to ensure security in real time. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, 323 scientific articles were obtained from 137 information sources containing the keywords relevant to the study. The research included journal articles, book chapters, and patents. Scientific publications were retrieved from the Scopus and WoS databases using primary and secondary keywords. The study employed the following methods: (a) a systematic literature review based on publications from 2013 to 2023, and (b) a bibliometric analysis of articles published from 2000 to 2023 using the RStudio and Bibliometrix software. Based on the analysis, the authors conclude that in the coming decades, the business landscape of the digital society will be shaped by a strategy focused on processing big data to ensure cybersecurity, grounded in a deep understanding of human behavior and artificial intelligence. This analysis can be used by technical professionals to justify new technological solutions for implementing IT and big data in a digital society, as well as to substantiate recommendations for improving cybersecurity during large-scale processing of big data for applied purposes.
