Getting ready for GDPR: Securing and governing hybrid, cloud, and on-premises big data deployments, step by step

New regulations such as GDPR are driving new compliance, governance, and security challenges for big data. Infosec and security groups must ensure a consistently secured and governed environment across multiple workloads. Mark Donsky, Syed Rafice, Mubashir Kazia, Ifigeneia Derekli, and Camila Hiskey share hands-on best practices for meeting these challenges, with special attention paid to GDPR.

Many Hadoop clusters lack even the most basic security and governance controls. This is due to several factors: some security features did not exist as recently as two years ago, and the complexity of Hadoop security has proved daunting to administrators. Nonetheless, with the emergence of regulations such as GDPR, organizations can no longer afford to overlook the criticality of security and governance. Mark Donsky, Syed Rafice, Mubashir Kazia, Ifigeneia Derekli, and Camila Hiskey share hands-on best practices for ensure a consistently secured and governed environment across multiple workloads, with special attention paid to GDPR. Mark, Syed, Mubashir, Ifigeneia, and Camila walk you through securing a Hadoop cluster. You’ll start with a cluster with no security and then add security features related to authentication, authorization, encryption of data at rest, encryption of data in transit, and complete data governance. For each security feature, they cover the following topics:
