  • Hadoop Summit 2014: Lessons Learned on How to Secure Petabytes of Data

    Hadoop Summit 2014

    Apache Hadoop systems are exploding in popularity and are being widely adopted by organizations to process enormous amount of data. What is often missing from these architectures is an understanding of the security implications and how to protect data at a granular level. Protection of the data requires a different paradigm for these types of architectures.

    Apache Hadoop systems are exploding in popularity and are being widely adopted by organizations to process enormous amount of data. What is often missing from these architectures is an understanding of the security implications and how to protect data at a granular level. Protection of the data requires a different paradigm for these types of architectures. This talk will discuss the security challenges with information storage and retrieval in Hadoop, outline a detailed security design pattern for combining Apache technologies to enable data protection, providence, and lineage, and give an overview of real world case studies where these patterns have been implemented.
