Who is this presentation for?

  • Data architects, security developers, and security architects

Level

Intermediate

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A general understanding of Hadoop concepts, security principles, and cloud concepts, such as S3, EMR, and transient clusters

What you'll learn

  • Learn best practices for security and governing cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments, including wire encryption, data at rest encryption, governance best practices, unified, secure, and data catalogs for self-service discovery
  • Understand important aspects of GDPR and CCPA

Description

Many big data environments lack even the most basic security and governance controls. This is due to several factors: some security features didn’t exist as recently as two years ago, and the complexity of Hadoop security has proved daunting to administrators. Nonetheless, with the emergence of regulation such as the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organizations can no longer afford to overlook the criticality of security and governance.

Mark Donsky, Ifigeneia Derekli, Lars George, and Michael Ernest 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:

  • Introduction: What the security feature is, what protection it provides, and best practices and recommendations
  • Planning: How to enable the feature in a phased manner with the fewest growing pains and least risk
  • Relevance: Why it’s important (demonstrated by live attacks against a cluster without the target security feature) and how it relates to GDPR
  • Implementation: An overview of how the implementation is performed, where the moving parts are, and potential pitfalls
