SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Hortonworks, Inc. ® (NASDAQ: HDP) today announced an open
source technology collaboration with Neustar, Inc., a trusted,
neutral provider of real-time information services, to create
powerful, business-friendly security and identity management tools
for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Hortonworks' connected data
platforms enable Neustar to extend its OneID® identity management
to the open source community, utilizing Hortonworks Data Platform
(HDP) and Hortonworks Data Flow (HDF), to enable the development of
new industry-leading identity management and security solutions for
IoT devices.
"IoT represents such a unique opportunity for our customers, but
the security and management of this connection science is a major
IT challenge," said Hank Skorny,
senior vice president of IoT at Neustar. "Hortonworks is a key open
source collaborator that enables Neustar to extend its policy
management to the device level."
Neustar OneID is an identity solution that delivers IoT
certificate and identity management in the authentication and
revocation of IoT devices. By integrating with HDP and HDF, Neustar
is able to incorporate the functionality of Apache Ranger and
Apache Atlas to extend management down to the device level. This
cloud-based management allows for central management of devices,
with the ability to enforce policies based on user or device. This
granular policy management enables more secure IoT devices for
customers without the security implications of adding large numbers
of devices to their network.
"Neustar has leveraged open source security and policy
enforcement technologies to power OneID as well as Device Directory
for mobile devices," said Greg
Pavlik, chief product officer at Hortonworks. "This is a
true testament to our core belief that open source brings
innovation to market faster and our commitment to helping our
customers innovate faster with the community."
Using Neustar's Device Directory, its customers can register
devices, creating a central repository for easy management and
policy enforcement. Apache NiFi and Apache MiNiFi through HDF allow
customers to extend the reach of the Data Distribution System (DDS)
down to the device, whether it is online or offline. By doing so,
Neustar OneID can be used to generate or revoke certificates for
hosts, with the ability to quickly remove a compromised host or
group of hosts. Once an issue has been resolved, OneID and HDF can
bring the same hosts back up quickly and easily.
Neustar OneID will be able to sign and validate data, helping
ensure its authenticity and alerting an organization to any issues.
With end-to-end data validation extending from the edge to central
management in the cloud, and with the ability to act once a
compromised host is detected, Neustar is offering customers greater
peace of mind as they explore IoT.

About Neustar
Every day, the world generates roughly 2.5 quadrillion bits of
data. Neustar (NYSE: NSR) isolates certain elements and analyzes,
simplifies and edits them to make precise and valuable decisions
that drive results. As one of the few companies capable of knowing
with certainty who is on the other end of every interaction, we're
trusted by the world's great brands to make critical decisions some
20 billion times a day. We help marketers send timely and relevant
messages to the right people. Because we can authoritatively tell a
client exactly who is calling or connecting with them, we make
critical real-time responses possible. And the same comprehensive
information that enables our clients to direct and manage orders
also stops attackers. We know when someone isn't who they claim to
be, which helps stop fraud and denial of service before they're a
problem. Because we're also an experienced manager of some of
the world's most complex databases, we help clients control their
online identity, registering and protecting their domain name, and
routing traffic to the correct network address. By linking
the most essential information with the people who depend on it, we
provide more than 12,000 clients worldwide with decisions—not just
data. More information is available at
