Cloudera has been providing enterprise support for Apache NiFi since 2015, helping hundreds of organizations take control of their data movement pipelines on premises and in the public cloud. Working with these organizations has taught us a lot about the needs of developers and administrators when it comes to developing new dataflows and supporting them in mission-critical production environments.
The growth of big data has scattered data sources throughout the enterprise, tucking them away in silos and making them hard to find. But there is more to data than just storing information in an operational data store or running analytics from a data warehouse. For example, regulated industries have requirements needing tighter control over the data.
Whether on-premises, private, hybrid or multicloud, or at the edge – working in the cloud is complex. And as the enterprise expands, so too does the threat surface for cyberattacks. Ransomware, in particular, is among the biggest risks organizations now face and cloud-based data is accounting for 39% of successful attacks.
