Apache Ranger

Apache Ranger is a security tool that helps organizations control and monitor access to their data and systems. Think of it as a security guard managing who can see, modify, or delete information in databases, big data platforms, or cloud environments. It provides centralized policies to ensure only authorized users can perform certain actions, and it tracks all access attempts for auditing purposes. This helps organizations protect sensitive data, comply with regulations, and prevent unauthorized access, all while simplifying security management across complex data ecosystems.
