About DSE Advanced Security
DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Advanced Security provides features that allow you to minimize risk, achieve granular access control, and work toward compliance with regulatory standards:
- Unified authentication and role management
-
Allows you to integrate existing Kerberos, LDAP, and Active Directory users and schemes across DSE resources.
- Data auditing
-
Provides the ability to understand who looked at what and when; and who changed what and when. Both factors are important to meet security compliance standards.
- Row-level access control and proxy authentication
-
Restricts which rows a user has access to within a table while preserving client-side identities and privileges in middleware such as web servers.
- Permission management
-
Uses a GRANT/REVOKE paradigm and Active Directory/LDAP to assign access permissions.
