Securely Leverage Your Data Lake
Organizations are being prevented from utilizing their state of the art analytics technology and extremely talented resources from analyzing large amounts of information, due to security or sensitive information unknowns. The time it takes to filter and eliminate potential sensitive information is a real disadvantage to any analysis and mission. Today’s Data Lakes support requirements dictate real time ingestion of enormous amounts of information, requiring immediate analysis and decision making, allowing for quick response times. Opportunities are being lost…
Dataguise enables organizations to discover and secure sensitive information as its captured at the speed of ingestion for the cloud, Hadoop, standard databases and other support files. Thus providing an organization a real time safe environment for the use of sensitive data, and maximizing their talents and analytic resources.
According to Gartner (Report No. G00276042), Dataguise is the only vendor who can find all sensitive data in Hadoop and secure it so an organization can safely use sensitive data. Dataguise enables “secure data execution” utilizing their 13 patents and enabling discovery of all PCI, PHI, PII, HIPAA and customizable sensitive data at rest or in flight in to the cluster. After the sensitive data is detected, the technology allows you to mask, encrypt or redact the sensitive data elements at the element level. After securing the data, Dataguise will link into your access controls giving only giving certain users access to particular sensitive data. Scaling at the speed of ingestion, Dataguise eliminates the need for making multiple copies of the data for off line processing.
Dataguise is pushing the envelope of technology and will announce a next generation monitoring solution that will incorporate machine learning to gather user’s patterns and types of data usually consumed. If any user deviates from a normalized pattern, the system will send up flags and/or cut off access until the user’s activity has been verified.
How Dataguise Works with Data Analytics but is not an Analytic Platform
Dataguise works with analytics in many ways and at a macro level, enables analytics by providing users access to data that may have otherwise have been off limits or segregated at a higher classification. With that being said, Dataguise is not an analytics tool but data-centric security tool to encrypt, mask or redact the sensitive portions of the data that are deemed sensitive. Dataguise can be the enabler for secure analytics but do not perform any analytics for the Analyst.
One of many use case examples – Organizations are actively looking to share data securely with friends, allies and foreign nationals. One way we could share this safely and securely is by masking or redacting the sensitive portions of the data. Also, as there are many classification (top secret, secret, JC, no foreign), Dataguise assists in being able to properly distinguish and encrypt these so that only the proper vetted and approved individuals and/or organizations would have access to any sensitive data. Dataguise gives you the ability to discover and secure all these types of sensitive information.
Dataguise is data-centric security
Data breaches occur by many different security flaws but the main reason a breakdown occurs is that bad actors are totally committed to accessing an organizations sensitive and valuable data. Dataguise highly recommends the use of perimeter controls and acknowledges this as a key security precaution. Additional layers are required to mitigate risks including insider threats. By first identifying all sensitive data and then protecting it by masking, encrypting, and/or redacting this information, an organization adds another crucial layer of protection. Dataguise is essential to any environment concerned with the protection of their sensitive data for both insider and outsider threat potentials.
In the same vein, Gartner list Dataguise as essential to ensure the protection of your Hadoop environment and are named as the only company in the market with the ability to discover sensitive data across Hadoop. Also, our masking capabilities are listed as visionary in the magic quadrant.
In Summary, Dataguise is a leader in secure data execution by providing the essential discovery, security and monitoring to ensure the safety of your sensitive data. As organizations are is evaluating solutions for security, please consider Dataguise as being a willing partner to work and grow with your needs.
