Hadoop Attempts to Secure Big Data
March 8, 2013
Hadoop creates lots of headlines with its open source framework that can handle data-intensive distributed applications. Many recent headlines have focused on the fact that by adding Hadoop to their framework, many solutions can improve their security. TechCrunch addresses the issue in its article, “Intel Launches Hadoop Distribution And Project Rhino, An Effort To Bring Better Security To Big Data.”
The article begins:
“Intel has launched its own Hadoop distribution, entering an already crowded market of major players all looking to get a piece of the big data pie. The company also announced an open-source effort to enhance security in Hadoop. Earlier this week, EMC and HP each announced its own Hadoop distribution. But for Intel, the challenge is to fortify its market-leading position in the data center, where it will face increasing challenge from an emerging ARM ecosystem.”
While Big Data is in many ways a new issue and is therefore demanding new technology, security does not have to be an issue at every turn. For instance, there are solutions built by industry-leading companies that have a strong record of security as well as support and training. LucidWorks is one of them and is definitely worth a second look.
