Ramkumar Chandrasekeran discusses DeployR, an enterprise security model for R:
DeployR Enterprise is designed to deliver analytics solutions at scale to whomever needs it: inside or outside the enterprise. It also guarantees secure delivery of your analytics via DeployR web services. These secure web services integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise security solutions: Single Sign-On, LDAP, Active Directory, PAM, and Basic Authentication, can enforce access privileges already defined by your IT department for existing enterprise users and also have the capability to safely support anonymous users when needed.
There’s nothing groundbreaking here: it’s TLS (to encrypt network transmissions) and LDAPS (to control authentication and authorization). That there’s nothing groundbreaking is a good thing—that means companies will have most of the infrastructure in place to support this.
