Data Security for

Hadoop Environments

Despite the growing use of the cloud, large organizations are still heavily leveraging large on-prem Hadoop environments. It’s still vital, then, to recognize the importance of securing on-premises Hadoop environments infrastructure. In a 2020 survey, BARC found that nearly half of Hadoop users were not using any tools for data governance or security.
