Cloud computing has ushered in the era of ‘big data’. As organizations acquire more and more data, and need/want to use more and more of that data, the scalability of established relational databases is increasingly called into question. More and more, organizations are turning to distributed databases -- so-called NoSQL databases. However, the security provided for and by distributed databases is far short of what is available today to secure relational databases. With this shift to distributed bases, are organizations effectively setting themselves up for significant security problems? What can information security personnel do to make organizations aware of the specific issues? What compensating controls should we be considering? Learn more in this session.
