Beef Up Your Big Data Security

Analyzing the massive amount of unstructured data – email addresses, phone records, GPS locations, social security numbers, health records, intellectual property – in your environment can be a boost to your business. But if that information winds up in the wrong hands, the results could be disastrous.

Gazzang zNcrypt™ helps organizations transparently encrypt big data in the cloud or on premises. The solution leverages file- and block-level encryption, the latter of which is well suited for big data projects because of its extremely high performance during the cryptographic process. zNcrypt process-based access control lists support the unique requirements of MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, Apache Hadoop, Riak and other big data applications, to help you meet security and compliance needs.

As your big data environment rapidly expands, adding new nodes, servers and images, this dramatically increases the volume of cryptographic keys and other security objects  that need to be properly secured and managed.  Gazzang zTrustee™ delivers that protection with its ultra-secure, policy-driven “vault” for keys, certificates, tokens and other critical security strings.

For organizations running big data jobs in the cloud on Amazon EMR, Gazzang CloudEncrypt™ is a unique solution that encrypts data through every phase of the Amazon EMR process and enables customers to maintain full control and ownership of the massive volumes of encryption keys generated. 

No longer do you have to choose between security and performance. Gazzang can provide the protection you need while maintaining the highest levels of data availability and performance you've come to expect from big data.
