Are you actively exposing your database to users outside of your organization, or are you just asking about security best practices?
If you mean the former, this isn't really a common use case and there isn't a huge amount out of the box that Cassandra will do to help. If you're just asking about security best-practices, http://www.datastax.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WP-DataStax-Enterprise-Best-Practices.pdf has a brief blurb, and there are many resources online for securing Cassandra specifically and databases in general- the approaches are going to be largely the same. Can you describe what avenues you're expecting either intrusion or DOS? On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 6:01 PM, oleg yusim <olegyu...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK Rob, I see what you saying.
