SETTING CONTEXT

SOME DIFFICULT REALITIES

© 2014 Sqrrl Data, Inc. | All Rights Reserved 3

THERE IS NO SECURE PERIMETER

•  Corporate intranets are dirty •  Cloud Computing •  Bring your own device

•  Sophistication of threats: APT / malicious insider

•  Know thy network •  Embrace the chaos, change the game

The changing face of the “trusted zone”


UPPING THE ANTE

•  The “Big Promise” – keep everything, mine it, strike gold

•  Consolidating data means compounding risk •  Traditional protection is insufficient •  Breach events have larger blast radius

•  We can’t protect data, why not let it protect itself?

Big Data amplifies the stakes of security


THE IMPORTANCE OF

DATA-CENTRIC SECURITY


DCS REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE Things to consider when protecting data


REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION How Sqrrl manifests Data-Centric Security


ACCUMULO DATUM RECORD

Example Accumulo Row


Visibility Labels, BigTable style

SQRRL DATUM RECORD

Example Nested Sqrrl Document


Visibility Labels, Sqrrl style

SQRRL LABELING ENGINE

{ “message-id” : “129434”, “message” : { “from” : “Dr. Bob Doctor <[email protected]>”, “subject” : “Test Results”, “importance” : 10, “body” : “Everything came back OK.\n\nI will see you in the office on Friday.” } }


Rule-based assignment of labels to data

{ “message-id” : “129434”, “message@[veryimportant]” : { “from” : “Dr. Bob Doctor <[email protected]>”, “subject” : “Test Results”, “importance” : 10, “body” : “Everything came back OK.\n\nI will see you in the office on Friday.” } }

APPLY veryimportant to //mailbox/messages[**]/message WHERE CHILD importance >= 10

ENCRYPTION CAPABILITIES

•  Encryption at rest

•  Encryption in motion

•  Pluggable Encryption


ENCRYPTION AT REST


ENCRYPTION IN MOTION

•  Encrypt all network traffic with SSL •  Sqrrl client to Sqrrl server •  Sqrrl server to Accumulo server •  Accumulo server to Accumulo server


Sqrrl Enterprise was never vulnerable to Heartbleed

CRYPTO CONTRIBUTIONS

•  ACCUMULO-958: Pluggable encryption to Write-Ahead Logs

•  ACCUMULO-980: Pluggable encryption to RFiles •  ACCUMULO-1009: Encryption in motion

Sqrrl contributed each to open-source Accumulo


SECURE SEARCH

•  Search can be a source of leakage •  Revealing existence of data elements, names… •  …or worse, more information

•  Indexes are data too •  Protections should mirror underlying data

Sqrrl Enterprise is the only Big Data Solution

with term-level security on search indexes


Preserving data security in search indexes

SQRRL AUDIT

•  Records every client action against system

•  Provides info on request, security operations attempted

•  Stored securely to prevent tampering


Immutable history for compliance purposes

WRAPPING UP


RECAP

•  Changing technology landscape •  Perimeter controls not keeping pace

•  Big Data security is hard •  Technology velocity, data gravity •  Unknown unknowns

•  Adopt Data-Centric Security principles for best chances at success

•  (Sqrrl has them)
