IBM® Security Guardium® Data Protection for Big Data – formerly IBM® Security Guardium® Data Activity Monitor for Big Data, but now with simplified packaging – provides data activity monitoring, provides cognitive analytics to discover unusual activity around sensitive data, prevents unauthorized data access, provides alerts on suspicious activities, automates compliance workflows, and protects against internal and external threats. Continuous monitoring and real-time security policies protect data across the enterprise, without changes or performance impacts to data sources or applications.
