NoSQL Database Security

Enterprises are rapidly adopting NoSQL databases in response to growing amounts and kinds of data available to enterprises (Big Data) and management’s mandate to extract insights from this data to drive competitive advantage.

Many enterprises that take advantage of Big Data, such as Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Mozilla, Netflix and Twitter, employ NoSQL databases. And, as you might expect, cyber criminals are targeting these databases for the value of the data stored therein.

To reduce risk and achieve the high level of security that will protect the data and executive careers, enterprises that use NoSQL databases need to go beyond basic compliance to truly secure their data across the entire enterprise including multiple geographies, operating systems and environments.

The Vormetric Data Security Platform provides centralized key management, privileged user access control and security intelligence logs for data-at-rest across the NoSQL database environment including ingress and egress data reports as well as configuration files and audit logs.

Vormetric Transparent Encryption transparently protects new and complex structured and unstructured data types without application engineering.

Vormetric Data Security Intelligence generates security intelligence on data access by users, processes and applications accessing data anywhere across the NoSQL database infrastructure.

Unlike other data security solutions, Thales eSecurity extensible platform is tunable to protect data as granular as specific columns or fields. On the other hand, it can protect all the data within a given directory or volume.

The platform supports the broadest range of operating systems and environments in the industry including Linux, UNIX and Windows servers in physical, virtual, cloud and big data Cardholder Data Environments (CDE).

Vormetric data security solutions from Thales eSecurity deliver operational efficiencies through high-performance encryption, high-availability data security architecture and centralized management with the Vormetric Data Security Manager (DSM). Customers typically report no perceptible impact on end-user experience.
