Thales and Zettaset have launched a standards-based data encryption and key management solution designed for open source big data environments such as Hadoop and NoSQL. Organizations can now comply with government regulations and industry mandates for protecting data privacy.
Cindy Provin, president, Thales e-Security Inc., says: “The proliferation of big data platform deployments, many based on Hadoop and NoSQL, calls for security innovations to protect data in motion, data in use and data at rest. The scale of big data and its highly distributed nature require innovative adaptions for the problems of authentication, authorization and data protection in which cryptography plays a vital part. We are delighted to have partnered with Zettaset to deliver a high assurance encryption and key management solution for big data environments, easing the tensions between usability, performance, scalability and security.”
Jim Vogt, CEO Zettaset says: “Zettaset is pleased to be partnering with Thales to deliver a proven, enterprise-class data protection solution for organizations that are scaling up their Hadoop and NoSQL environments and moving into production. IT teams deploying Hadoop and NoSQL are now realizing the security gaps that exist in these open source databases, and are looking for a high-assurance security solution that will provide protection and support compliance for big data in the enterprise.”
