Apache Solr is a highly scalable, open source search technology that makes it easy for organizations to deliver core search, recommendations or business intelligence applications. In Solr today, if you have to store and provide search against confidential data, you are on your own on trying to figure out how to protect that data from being encrypted at rest, during transport or to prevent a rogue employee or third party having access to that sensitive data. In this talk, you will learn about how you can keep the search index secure and provide key based encryption that ensures that your sensitive data is protected at all levels and your Solr application meets compliance requirements.
