About the Webinar

In the past, many NoSQL systems came with minimal security features and put security functions in the application layer.  However, some newer NoSQL databases are supporting fine-grain security policy management.  In this webinar we will discuss the trends in NoSQL security and the ability for new releases of some NoSQL databases to address in-database security concerns.  We will see how security policies can be migrated from SQL to NoSQL systems.
