ResumoThe increased demand of Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies has forced the organizations to move from relational databases to nonrelational databases like NoSQL. A NoSQL database, also referred as non-SQL or nonrelational or not only SQL database, is scalable, distributed, and highly reliable and has been designed to support the requirements of modern web-based applications. However, security remains a very challenging issue even in NoSQL database as security challenges that were inherent in the previous databases have not spared even NoSQL. The key for ensuring adequate security of the NoSQL database system is a detailed consideration of security issues for the NoSQL database solution and implementation of corresponding security mechanisms. The aim of this chapter is to discuss security issues inherent in NoSQL databases and further explore it to find the best security mechanism for this environment. In this chapter, we will deliberate upon various security threats of NoSQL databases, security architecture of NoSQL databases, and the steps that can be taken to secure the NoSQL database. A comparative study of Relational & NoSQL database is also given to provide a better understanding of the databases, their relative advantages, and the security pitfalls. The technology/technical terms used in this book chapter are explained wherever they appear and at the “Glossary” section. At the end of the chapter, references are included for further reading for the benefit of advanced readers.
