Cloudera Achieves PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance to Unlock Business Value from AI for Financial Institutions

India — August 27, 2024: Cloudera, the only true hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, announced it has achieved Level 1 compliance with the Payment Card Industry’s (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) for Service Providers. This certification demonstrates Cloudera’s commitment to cybersecurity and compliance in its mission to help financial institutions unlock business value from AI. With this milestone, Cloudera’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Private Cloud (PVC) are both PCI DSS v4.0 compliant, the newest major version of the framework.

PCI DSS standards define rigorous security controls and processes for entities involved in the payment ecosystem, as well as requirements for developers and solution providers to build and securely manage payment devices, software, and solutions for the payment industry.

As the rise of e-commerce has rapidly scaled the amount of data that financial institutions have under management, the need to protect that data has grown as well. According to the International Monetary Fund’s 2024 Global Financial Stability Report, the financial sector is the target for one-fifth of all cyber-attacks, and this risk is largely driven by its dependence on third-party IT providers. Certification with the most recent security standards for the PCI is a testament to Cloudera’s ability to quickly adapt to the latest financial sector security requirements, where threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated.

AI has also transformed the financial sector in recent years, with financial institutions adopting virtual assistants, creating synthetic data for model training, generating research reports and investment summaries, and harnessing machine learning for fraud detection. As the vendor to eight of the top 10 global banks, Cloudera helps financial institutions harness the power of AI and Generative AI while navigating the associated risks, providing a secure environment for managing the vast volumes of data needed to train AI models.

“The financial services industry is undergoing significant digital transformation, and the ability to work with trusted third-party solution providers is critical to success” said industry analyst, Sanjeev Mohan. “Financial institutions can view compliance with rigorous frameworks, like PCI DSS 4.0, as an indicator that the partner they’re choosing to work with is one that can securely navigate the complexities of their data and thrive in this AI-powered future.”

“Cloudera’s achievement of this certification is a testament to our commitment to our financial sector customers,” said Natalia Belaya, Cloudera’s Chief Information Security Officer. “We strive to provide and maintain a secure and trusted platform to support our customers with evolving data initiatives and empower them to unlock greater value from AI.”

Cloudera Unveils New Observability Offerings for On-Premises and Public Cloud Data Centers

India– July 12, 2024 – Cloudera, the only true hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, today announced two new offerings for Cloudera Observability Premium designed to simplify and automate platform administration. These premium tier features provide a single source of observability across all cloud-based and on-premises data centers, even for the most secure enterprises.

With the increasing demand for strategic insights from technologies like GenAI and the rise of data privacy and security regulations, there is an increasing need for full visibility into enterprise data sources and workflows. Cloudera’s expanded Cloudera Observability suite empowers enterprises with highly secure networks to operate observability entirely within their data centers or on the public cloud.

Cloudera’s two new solutions in its Cloudera Observability suite include:

● Cloudera Observability Premium On-Premises allows customers with highly secure networks to run observability entirely within their data centers. This solution ensures optimal monitoring, troubleshooting, financial governance, data observability, and automated actions, even in air-gapped configurations.

● Cloudera Observability Premium for Public Cloud Data Hub extends all the advanced premium capabilities to public cloud users, including real-time monitoring, advanced financial governance, automated actions, and data observability.

With the addition of both these offerings, enterprises can now leverage high-value features such as real-time monitoring for Data Hub clusters, jobs, and queries, financial governance with new cost factors and capacity forecasting, workload views, alerts, and automated actions, along with data observability with hot and cold table analysis. These features aim to maximize investment, streamline self-service troubleshooting, and enhance visibility into resource costs and usage.

“Real-time correlations and contextual information are essential for identifying optimization points and potential bottlenecks along with prescriptive recommendations,” said industry analyst, Sanjeev Mohan. “Implementing advanced observational capabilities is critical for enterprises as they provide real-time system insights that enable proactive issue resolution and enhance security, ultimately leading to operations and reduced risks. Cloudera’s expanded Observability offering enables enterprises to tackle this head on by building a new standard for hybrid data observability across on-premises and public clouds.”

This release is a key expansion for Cloudera Observability, designed to continuously discover and collect performance telemetry data across applications, services, and infrastructure components running in enterprises’ Cloudera environments.

“There is immense pressure on enterprises today to better manage data resources and efficiently leverage data across the organization,” said Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. “Cloudera Observability helps enterprises maximize cost-efficiency, enhance performance, and unlock intelligent insights. The new premium additions deepen these insights for enterprises and builds on our commitment to help customers take back control of their data, analytics, and AI.”

Cloudera will be demonstrating its latest series of updates at booth #643 at the AWS NYC Summit, taking place July 10, 2024, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Attendees will see the power of Cloudera’s new premium observability offerings firsthand and speak to experts onsite about how Cloudera is the only true hybrid open data lakehouse that brings analytics and AI to business data.
