Address big data security challenges
Problem
Big data usage is growing, but big data platforms weren’t originally designed with data security in mind. Your team needs to use the advanced capabilities of big data platforms, but can’t afford to risk the inherent gaps.
Solution
IBM Security Guardium Data Protection for Big Data provides a holistic data security platform for Hadoop and NoSQL environments to help manage data activity, create and enforce appropriate controls, and enable compliance for big data initiatives.
-
Analyze data and gain visibility
Problem
Because data is constantly changing, moving, and being accessed by new users, it can be difficult to understand what data you have, how it is being used, and if either of these things puts you at risk from a security or compliance perspective.
Solution
Guardium automatically discovers critical data and uncovers risk, providing visibility into all transactions and protocols across platforms and users.
-
Protect critical data
Problem
Insider threat and external attacks pose dangers to data, but traditional approaches can’t enforce separation of duties, recognize suspicious activity in real time, or help you act. Compliance mandates and potential audits increase complexity.
Solution
Guardium enables complete protection for sensitive data via real-time capabilities including monitoring, alerting, blocking and quarantining, along with compliance automation to streamline operations and reduce risk of audit failure.
-
Adapt to changing environments and requirements
Problem
Constantly expanding environments, new platforms, evolving compliance requirements and dynamic users make data protection a complex challenge.
Solution
Guardium seamlessly handles changes within your IT environment, enabling you to secure new data sources, expand your deployment, or add new users. This flexible, tiered approach allows you to reduce costs while protecting your most critical assets.
