Cybersecurity research website CyberNews recently interviewed Countly’s CEO, Onur Alp Soner, discussing everything from Countly’s origins to the role of cybersecurity in product analytics and how this might shape digital products in the near future.

Exabeam, a leader in SIEM and XDR, provides security operations teams with end-to-end Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) by leveraging a combination of user and entity behavioral analytics (UEBA) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) to allow organizations to quickly resolve cybersecurity threats.

In a previous blog of this series, Turning Streams Into Data Products, we talked about the increased need for reducing the latency between data generation/ingestion and producing analytical results and insights from this data. We discussed how Cloudera Stream Processing (CSP) with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink could be used to process this data in real time and at scale. In this blog we will show a real example of how that is done, looking at how we can use CSP to perform real-time fraud detection.

Across the globe, cloud concentration risk is coming under greater scrutiny. The UK HM Treasury department recently issued a policy paper “Critical Third Parties to the Finance Sector.” The paper is a proposal to enable oversight of third parties providing critical services to the UK financial system.

In order to better serve their customers and users, digital applications and platforms continue to store and use sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), genetic and biometric information, and credit card information. Many organizations that provide data for analytics use cases face evolving regulatory and privacy mandates, ongoing risks from data breaches and data leakage, and a growing need to control data access.

Identity verification is a crucial step in ensuring someone is who they say they are. This idea is brought through digital identity verification. This reduces the effects of individuals from creating a fraudulent identity, engaging in fraud-related crimes, or acting without the permission of someone else. Organizations must detect the identity of an individual as they manage many prominent security issues like identity theft, data breaches, and fraudulent transactions.
