Big-Data Encryption
Access vast amounts of sensitive data for business analytics, while mitigating risks of exposure and compromise
Big data collects and analyzes large amounts of data from heterogeneous sources to discover unprecedented new knowledge and understanding of scientific and business scenarios. Aiming to gain greater insight into patterns not generally discernible from smaller data sets, big data business intelligence enables visibility into associations and trends that otherwise go unnoticed.
However, big data exposes the enterprise to numerous data security threats. Entrust nShield™ HSMs can help you deploy big data with confidence and safely take full advantage of its benefits.
Challenges
Protecting Private and Sensitive Information
Source data used for mining and knowledge discovery typically includes private and sensitive information. The process of gathering data from multiple sources increases exposure.
Mitigating Risks of Attacks
Co-location services that leverage processing big data resources can be vulnerable. At-rest analytics and business intelligence represent valuable targets for attackers.
Managing Keys
Existing big data security solutions typically use fragmented cryptographic key management approaches.
Solutions
Secure Big Data Encryption
Entrust nShield HSMs provide a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified boundary to protect your sensitive big data encryption keys.
Improved Processing
Entrust nShield HSMs can offload cryptographic processing to deliver low latency, hardware-accelerated encryption.
