Data Protection for Big Data Environments

However, the security risks remain high. Considering that even robust and mature enterprise relational database systems are often the target of attacks, the relative lack of controls around Hadoop makes it an attractive target, especially as more sensitive and valuable data from a wide variety of sources moves into the Hadoop cluster. Although some Hadoop distributions do support various security and authentication solutions, there has not been a comprehensive data activity monitoring solution for Hadoop until now. IBM InfoSphere® Guardium® provides a scalable architecture and support for a wide variety of data platforms making it possible to integrate Hadoop activity monitoring with other database activity, giving security administrators an enterprise-wide monitoring and alerting system for detecting and preventing threats.
