Enterprise Data Loss Prevention - Profile, Classify, Protect Enterprise Data

Primary LanguageShell

What is InsightLake Data Security?

Enterprises today are storing large amount of data in data lakes and data stores to gain insights. At the same time regulations like GDPR, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Basel III are forcing companies to protect sensitive data sets and conduct regular audits. Non compliance can lead to legal action, reputation damage and business loss.

This poses a big challenge for enterprises to manage data access security and data loss in a central and easy manner.

Insight Lake Security Manager solves this problem by allowing companies to manage security and monitoring of data assets (files, databases), which are present in cloud or on-premise centrally. It enables security administrators to discover datasets, profile to find sensitive information and define access policies easily with rich set of rules. It allows seamless migration by not requiring any change in existing applications and tools. It captures comprehensive audit logs to provide great detail about the access.

Discover --> Profile Sensitive Info --> Enforce Access & Protection Policies

Following are the main features provided by Security Manager:

  • Discover data assets continuously and identify gaps and sensitive information
  • DCAP - Data Centric Audit & Protection
  • Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premise support
  • Protection for many data assets relational DBs, File systems, Hadoop, MPP DBs etc.
  • Monitor access rights regularly
  • Monitor queries and alerting based on policies
  • Protect data assets by modifying queries or blocking access
  • Protect unstructured data and mask/obfuscate sensitive information on Docs (PDF, Word, Text), Images etc.
  • Apply ML/DL models to discover information
  • Integration with metadata and governance policies
  • Using APIs and workflow tokenize data (One way hash, FPE - Format preserving encryption)
  • Comprehensive audit logs
  • Integration with external SEIMs like Splunk, LogRythm, InsightLake Cyber Security
  • Integration with Sentry & Ranger

Supported Data Assets - Cloud & On-Premise

Security Manager solution allows companies to monitor and protect variety of data assets. Following data areas are protected.

  • Database
  • Files
  • Big Data
  • SAS - Software-as-a-Service
  • IAAS - Infrastructure-as-a-Service

  • Hadoop Distributions - Cloudera (CDH), Hortonworks (HDP), MapR, EMR
  • Relational Databases - MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL
  • File System - S3, GCS, Azure Blob, HDFS
  • Hadoop Data Store - Hive, Impala, SparkSQL, SOLR
  • MPP Databases - Redshift, Big Query, Vertica, Teradata

Discover Sensitive Information

Security Manager solution provides asset discovery feature, which identifies what types of data stores present in a given network. Rich data profiling of data sets provides fine grain details about the sensitivity of data elements. Discovery feature allows creation of security policies for identified sensitive data elements like alerting, masking, blocking etc. Data discovery can be easily automated to provide continuous monitoring of sensitive elements.

Data Discovery

Periodic jobs to automatically discover data assets

Data Profiling

Ad-hoc and periodic jobs to profile data store and identify sensitive information.

Logical Data Types

  • BASIC - Name, Email Address, Phone, SSN
  • PCI - Credit Card

Compliance Domains

  • BASIC
  • GDPR
  • PCI
  • HIPAA

Central Policy Manager

Security Manger provides an interactive policy manager UI, which allows security admins to manage enterprise data assets from one place. They can explore data assets, monitor them, create policies, check audit logs and see dashboards.

Applications and data domains

Security Manager integrates with Metadata and Governance solutions and provides insights through a hierarchy of business unit, application, data domain and user.

Manage users

Security Manager allows companies to import or provision users manually. Users can be easily imported from AD systems. AD integration allows automatic policy handling for users who are removed from AD on their termination.

Monitor Access Rights

Security Manager allows security admins to monitor user access rights based on user roles. It allows them to identify if excess rights are given to a user whose role doesn't permit them. For example a developer is given drop table rights on production will be a security gap. Monitoring of access rights can be done periodically and alerts could be provisioned. From the interactive UI and dashboards security admins can monitor and explore access rights easily.

Security Agents

Security agents are the main actors, they load policies from central policy server, monitor traffic, apply policies, generate alerts, modify queries for data protection and block access.

Security agents are divided in two types:

Monitoring Agent

These agents listen to the data access traffic in sniffing mode and apply policies to generate alerts and audit logs. They can't block the data connection or modify queries.

Proxy Agent

These agents sits in middle of the traffic, they apply policies to alert, generate audit logs, block access and modify queries.

Security Policies - Monitor & Protect

Enterprises can utilize rich set of policy rules to control access to data. Rules include: Coarse Grain Permissions - allow, deny Allow or deny data set joins Fine grain masking Data filtering Location Based Access Metadata Attributes

Rich Rules

Enterprises can utilize rich set of policy rules to control access to data. Rules include:

  • Coarse Grain Permissions - allow, deny
  • Allow or deny data set joins
  • Fine grain masking
  • Data filtering
  • Location Based Access
  • Metadata Attributes

Comprehensive Audit

Security manager captures provides comprehensive audit of data assets as well operational policies. It provides :

Data access logs - captures details about user, data store, location, time, original query and modified queries by policies. Policy changes logs - captures user, time and policy changes

Audit logs can be pushed to an enterprise based event handling systems or exported to big data based systems.

Data Protection APIs & Workflow

Protect your data using DLP APIs to mask or encrypt in real time or batch mode. Security manager provides tokenization features to encrypt data using one way hash or FPE (Format Preserving Encryption).

Security Dashboards

Analyze and monitor all enterprise data assets using security dashboards

Following dashboards are provided:

Agents Dashboard How agents are performing - number of connections, requests Uptime CPU, Memory Access Rights Dashboard Number of roles assigned, approved, rejected, in review Dormant users Users with direct access Permissions distribution by users Top users with more rights User Access Dashboard User requests Top users Access by location, time, IP, OS, Source, application, user group AD Login/Logout Top data stores with many access, users Top data stores access which are most dormant Queries Dashboard Requests - hourly, weekday, weekly distributions Top queries Query type distributions Sensitive queries - count, who queried, time, what db etc.. Number of records in response Admin Dashboard Type of admin queries - create, modify, drop etc Sensitive queries - drop and truncate Schema changes Other governance activities
