Description

Apache Ranger™ serves as a framework designed to facilitate, oversee, and manage extensive data security within the Hadoop ecosystem. The goal of Ranger is to implement a thorough security solution throughout the Apache Hadoop landscape. With the introduction of Apache YARN, the Hadoop platform can effectively accommodate a genuine data lake architecture, allowing businesses to operate various workloads in a multi-tenant setting. As the need for data security in Hadoop evolves, it must adapt to cater to diverse use cases regarding data access, while also offering a centralized framework for the administration of security policies and the oversight of user access. This centralized security management allows for the execution of all security-related tasks via a unified user interface or through REST APIs. Additionally, Ranger provides fine-grained authorization, enabling specific actions or operations with any Hadoop component or tool managed through a central administration tool. It standardizes authorization methods across all Hadoop components and enhances support for various authorization strategies, including role-based access control, thereby ensuring a robust security framework. By doing so, it significantly strengthens the overall security posture of organizations leveraging Hadoop technologies.

Description

Cerbos serves as a comprehensive authorization management platform designed to establish, implement, and assess access control policies across various applications and services. It enables developers to utilize its policy decision point (PDP) for evaluating authorization requests, while teams can create and oversee policies based on roles, relationships, and attributes. Cerbos accommodates workflows that can be local, self-hosted, or cloud-based, providing features like policy testing, observability, and audit logs for scrutinizing authorization choices. Additionally, Cerbos Hub offers a managed setting for organizing and disseminating policies, and the open-source Cerbos PDP is suitable for deployment alongside application workloads. The platform is tailored for engineering, security, and product teams needing reliable and detailed authorization mechanisms for users, services, and other identities within distributed systems. In doing so, it enhances security and streamlines the management of complex access-control scenarios across diverse environments.
