Cloudera Recognized As Emerging Leader in Cybersecurity and Machine Learning

Edison Awards, InfoWorld and the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards Validate Strength of Offerings for Enterprise Adoption

San Francisco, Calif., March 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudera, the provider of the leading global platform for machine learning and advanced analytics built on the latest open source technologies, announced accelerated momentum in the cybersecurity market. Over the past six months, Cloudera has earned multiple industry awards, advanced its cybersecurity solution based on Apache Spot (incubating), hosted a nine-city cybersecurity roadshow, and expanded its growing customer and partner base.

Cloudera’s cybersecurity solution provides enterprise-grade machine learning and advanced analytics to protect the hyper-connected enterprise. Security operations centers can no longer bolt on additional applications without a future-proof architecture that meets today’s and tomorrow’s needs. Cloudera validated this at this year’s RSA conference when it surveyed 125 attendees and discovered the following:

51% of companies are constrained by their security information and event management (SIEM) systems
46% of companies are holding less than 12 months of data
53% of companies cannot analyze the data they are collecting
61% of companies include machine learning as part of the cybersecurity strategy

“We’re honored by the awards we’ve received and thrilled by the traction we’ve made in the cybersecurity industry. Both are testament to the work we’ve done to help combat global adversaries,” said Tom Reilly, chief executive officer at Cloudera. “For decades, public and private sector organizations have been losing the battle against threats and attacks that are amassing huge data breaches, enabling nefarious practices such as espionage, and possibly even impacting political systems. Fortunately, we can now turn the tide with technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning built into a robust platform that is already proving to reduce risk in measurable ways.”
