Augmented analytics: 3 key advantages for software vendors

Artificial intelligence (AI), automation and machine learning (ML) are rapidly transforming the analytical experience for everyday business users in 2021. Whether it’s automated visualizations, continuous analysis, or reduced time-to-insight, there are many practical benefits of augmented analytics that are well documented and fully realized today.

5 Lessons We Learned Validating Security Controls at Snowflake

You may have read about Snowflake’s IPO last year. But you probably didn’t hear about all the work that the Snowflake security team did in preparation. Our corporate security program went through a security analytics review to ensure that it satisfied the new security policy requirements resulting from the IPO. Here are a few lessons that we learned when setting up automated security control validation on our Snowflake security data lake.

High-Performance, Cost-Effective Move to Azure

Cloud migration may be the biggest challenge, and the biggest opportunity, facing IT departments today - especially if you use big data and streaming data technologies, such as Cloudera, Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka. In this 55-minute webinar, Unravel Data product marketer Floyd Smith and Solutions Engineering Director Chris Santiago describe how to move workloads to Azure HDInsights, Databricks, and other destinations on Azure, fast and at the lowest possible cost

Introducing real-time data integration for BigQuery with Cloud Data Fusion

Businesses today have a growing demand for real-time data integration, analysis, and action. More often than not, the valuable data driving these actions—transactional and operational data—is stored either on-prem or in public clouds in traditional relational databases that aren’t suitable for continuous analytics.

Continuous model evaluation with BigQuery ML, Stored Procedures, and Cloud Scheduler

Continuous evaluation—the process of ensuring a production machine learning model is still performing well on new data—is an essential part in any ML workflow. Performing continuous evaluation can help you catch model drift, a phenomenon that occurs when the data used to train your model no longer reflects the current environment.

Data, The Unsung Hero of the Covid-19 Solution

COVID-19 vaccines from various manufacturers are being approved by more countries, but that doesn’t mean that they will be available at your local pharmacy or mass vaccination centers anytime soon. Creating, scaling-up and manufacturing the vaccine is just the first step, now the world needs to coordinate an incredible and complex supply chain system to deliver more vaccines to more places than ever before.

Six Trends Driving Adoption of Lumada DataOps Suite

Innovative organizations need DataOps and new technologies because old-school data integration is no longer sufficient. The traditional approach creates monolithic, set-in-concrete data pipelines that can’t convert data into insights quickly enough to keep pace with business. The following trends are driving the adoption of Hitachi’s Lumada DataOps Suite.

CDP Public Cloud: SSH Key Deployment

This video covers how to deploy SSH keys in CDP Public Cloud. It touches on how to generate a new SSH key pair and steps through the process of deploying it for a workload user through the Cloudera Management Console Web UI, as well as using the CDP command-line tool. It discusses the security implications of using the Cloudbreak user for login on data hub hosts, and explains why workload user credentials should be used instead in most cases. It also demonstrates using the deployed SSH keys for login to data hub hosts.

How to configure clients to connect to Apache Kafka Clusters securely - Part 4: TLS Client Authentication

In the previous posts in this series, we have discussed Kerberos, LDAP and PAM authentication for Kafka. In this post we will look into how to configure a Kafka cluster and client to use a TLS client authentication. The examples shown here will highlight the authentication-related properties in bold font to differentiate them from other required security properties, as in the example below. TLS is assumed to be enabled for the Apache Kafka cluster, as it should be for every secure cluster.
