Cloudera Falls Short in Big Data Security
May 31, 2013
Hadoop and its surrounding landscape are a big discussion point among not just the open source crowd, but also the entire discussion of enterprise data management. Cloudera is a leading contender for this interested in value-added solutions based on Hadoop. However, recent findings show that Cloudera is troubling some experts when it comes to security. Read more in the Cloud Tweaks article, “Cloudera Not Cutting It With Big Data Security.”
The article begins:
“Cloudera is, for the moment, a dominating presence in the open source Hadoop landscape; but does it have staying power? While Cloudera’s Big Data platform is the darling of the Hadoop space, they and their open source distribution competitors have so far failed to adequately address the elephant in the room: enterprise data security.”
When it comes to the enterprise, security failings cannot be easily overlooked. However, for those who are interested in harnessing the power of Hadoop, but maintaining the highest security standards, MapR recently launched a partnership with LucidWorks that does just that. MapR’s interest in LucidWorks was to bring powerful and secure analytics to Big Data through Hadoop. LucidWorks has a long record of industry trust and success, so enterprises can feel better about entrusting their data to a tested name in enterprise.
