Abstract: NoSQL Security

NoSQL databases are rapidly gaining popularity, especially for use in distributed, high-availability cloud services. But are we making the same mistakes with NoSQL in the childhood of the cloud that we made with SQL in the childhood of the web? This talk will examine some general security issues that come with emphasizing the Availability aspect of Consistency/Availability/Partition-tolerance, and we'll also look at some specific issues with popular NoSQL databases such as MongoDB and Cassandra.
