Over the last few years, the NoSQL (Not only SQL) databases managed to impose themselves as a suitable alternative to their more common relational counterparts.As such, the NoSQL databases have a plethora of practical applications, such as various Web 2.0 solutions, document management but also real-time systems where low latency is critical, embedded systems, storage for sensor networks and finally the IoT (Internet of Things).There are enough differences between the NoSQL and relational databases to presume that the security problems related to each of the two types of databases are at least partially different.This paper tries to review a few of the security aspects associated with the NoSQL databases usage.
