Cloudera acquires big data encryption specialist Gazzang — Tech News and Analysis

Expanding the scope of the "enterprise data hub" competitive landscape

"Hadoop software company Cloudera has acquired Gazzang, a startup specializing in encryption software for big data environments. It’s Cloudera’s first significant acquisition (it bought machine learning startup Myrrix in 2013 in more of an “acqui-hire” situation) and it speaks to the importance of security as customers’ Hadoop deployments grow in scale and mature into production environments. The deal comes less than a month after Cloudera competitor Hortonworks acquired a security startup called XA Secure."
