Introduction

Data Security in Hive as big data grows in scale and complexity, securing the data is more important than ever. Apache Hive, a data warehouse system built on top of Hadoop, is widely used for managing large datasets and running queries for data analysis. However, with the growing volume of sensitive information, ensuring that data within Hive is protected becomes a critical consideration for organizations.

This course focuses on implementing robust data security measures in Hive to control access, protect sensitive data, and ensure that queries and operations are executed securely. You will learn best practices for configuring authentication and authorization, encrypting data at rest and in transit, and auditing operations within Hive. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills to secure large datasets in Hive and comply with security regulations.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of Hadoop and the Hive architecture.
• Familiarity with relational databases and SQL.
• Understanding of data security principles and tools.
• Basic knowledge of Linux and system administration.
