Large Data Age Hadoop security

We are in a time of data explosion, more and more information is produced, the volume of data is large and the variety is complex. According to statistics, in the coming years, the data generated by smart cities, intelligent transportation, medical care and Internet of things will be overwhelming. So much of the data contains a lot of valuable information, but how do we extract that information? Now the usual approach is to use Hadoop, but Hadoop is not that safe.

"Hadoop is actually a software library," said Jon Clay, at the CIO summit on trend Technology, because the software library is open source, so security is poor, highlighting the following aspects.

First of all, Hadoop's access control mechanism is weak, not so many restrictions, so that the illegal access to a lot of space. The second is that Hadoop has no detailed compliance design, so security considerations are not enough and need to be redesigned. In addition, the confidentiality of data is poor, although many of the information in large data is spam, but as far as possible from the security point of view.

Of course, to solve the security of Hadoop is not no way, in fact, can be called Kerberos software to do, but the configuration of the software is very complex, the general enterprise information personnel or security personnel, and then spend time to start this, it is a headache thing.

Actually, trend technology has recently launched a new product, the entire new generation of deep security can be combined in a variety of ways to use modules include malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring and log checking, simplifying secure operations, while enhancing the virtualization and cloud environment ROI.

In addition, many users are using VMware virtualization software, trend technology of this product can also be perfect integration. Deep Security provides VMware users with complete intrusion prevention and performance monitoring programs, and provides dynamic virtual patches on a high-performance platform without the need to install agents, dramatically reducing workloads for data centers and private cloud environments. And the entire new generation of deep security 9.0, will be the enterprise virtualization and public cloud platform operators to provide the best performance of safety protection, and maintain the highest level of security and compliance.

In short, using Hadoop technology to solve large data problems is the current common practice, but the security problem is also outstanding, need professional security vendors to provide professional services, users can be based on their own needs to strengthen this work, and do not assume that large data in the technology so simple can be implemented.
