Data Security For Government Agencies

Government agencies at the forefront of information-driven decision-making recognize that the next generation of data management is a single, central system that stores all data in any form or amount and provides agency users with a wide array of tools and applications for working with this data. This evolution in data management is the enterprise data hub, and Apache Hadoop is at its core. Yet as agencies increasingly store data in this system, a growing portion is highly sensitive and subject to heavy regulations and governance controls designed to ensure data security. This information requires that Hadoop provide strong capabilities and measures to ensure security and compliance. This paper aims to explore and summarize the common security approaches, tools, and practices found within Hadoop at large, and how Cloudera is uniquely positioned to provide, strengthen, and manage the data security required for an enterprise data hub.
