These new security implementations could really help improve your company's big data governance.

Tech Republic explains:

As companies continue to redefine IT processes to cope with the semi-structured and unstructured data that characterize big data, they are also recognizing that standard data security practices that grew up with fixed-record, transactional data no longer address every big data security concern.

For starters, there are few controls on the mountains of big data that flow into companies on a daily basis. Big data can come from anywhere and in every form.

While companies can put controls in place to regulate the in-flow of this seemingly limitless data pipeline, there are very acute security concerns that emerge once the data is in enterprise data repositories where it can be accessed or shared. Who should be authorized to see the data in its entirety, and who within the organization needs to know some of the data, but not all of it?
