Perceptions & Questions

Analyst: Robin Bloor

Scalable Security?

Robin Bloor, PhD

The Sorry Truth

Security was never engineered into IT systems

It was always an afterthought

Windows of Opportunity…

u The “security surface” that needs protection is always growing

u  Security solutions tend to be fragmented

u The value targets are health and credit card data

u  Big Data is just another opportunity for the cyber thief

Hadoop Staging

Hadoop In Use

Hadoop Security

u Hadoop presents a wide area of vulnerability

u Role-based access is required (for self-service)

u  Encryption is desirable, if not a necessity

u  Format-preserving encryption is preferable

The Net Net

IT Security is strategic

Encryption is a primary plank of this

u  Nobody wants to be insecure. The main objections to effective IT security come from:

•  Inconvenience

•  Performance penalties

•  Costs?

u  Please describe how HP Security Voltage addresses each of these gating factors in its implementation.

u  Are there any environments to which HP Security Voltage’s technology is inapplicable? - IoT - Mobile - Cloud - Non-HP platforms

u  Which other security vendors/technologies does HP partner with for data center solutions?
