Harnessing Data Lifecycle Webinar

Customer data and analytics can take many forms, from descriptive analytics on operational data to inferring customer sentiment based on real-time social media feeds. With a variety of analytical tools for streaming, operational and unstructured data, businesses are asking more questions of more data. Yet, deriving and operationalizing the best answers effectively can be a matter of connecting the dots across different analytical workflows and the different teams, from BI analysts to data scientists, that use them.

    In this webinar, we’ll explain how integrated analytics experiences on Cloudera Data Platform (CDP ) can help you:
  • Connect the dots to efficiently deliver the right data and analytical outputs to the right systems at the right time, to operationalize insight effectively
  • Quickly stand up a data mart from multiple data sources and analytical workloads
  • Analyze data and then use machine learning for predictive analytics and streaming natural language processing
  • Enable a richer, data-driven business understanding of customer experience, what’s driving it, and what to do about it, in real-time.

The webinar includes a live demo and Q&A with our expert panel. We hope to see you there!

Digital Transformation with IoT

The growing emphasis on digital transformation is encouraging more organizations to adopt initiatives driven by the Internet of Things (IoT).

While such initiatives enable enterprises to enhance customer experiences, create new business channels, or acquire new partner ecosystems, gaining the insights to realize these benefits can prove to be challenging. Enterprises intend to quickly gather and analyze data and from the devices powering their business. However, the sheer volume of data that these devices generate, the variety of data that comes in, and the velocity in which data is collected creates its own set of challenges in terms of storage, processing power, and analytics for such enterprises.

The growth of IoT adoption has been exponential across all industries, but organizations within each industry face a unique set of challenges along this journey. Enterprises leveraging all the big data generated from IoT devices in their machine learning models are able to use prescriptive and predictive analytics to make well-informed decisions.

In this eBook, we will discuss the challenges of implementing data-driven IoT, and solutions for addressing the challenges across multiple industries.

Webinar: Streaming Data with Cloudera Data Flow (CDF)

IT is no longer relegated to the IT group. Lines of business are building new business applications that can drive their business’s top and/or bottom lines. These applications are increasingly stateless -- meaning that they rely on their underlying operational database to manage their state and work with IT to build, deploy and manage the database infrastructure. The application development lifecycle is accelerating with the broad adoption of cloud and the rise of dbPaaS where the database is fully managed and self-optimizes for the applications. In this session, we will show you how the Cloudera Operational Database offers an accelerated on-ramp to app development by offering a modern multi-model database that eliminates infrastructure management.

    During this demo, you will learn how to use the Cloudera Operational Database to:
  • Create a new database & new schema
  • Write your first hello-world application using the database

    Speakers:
  • Krishna Maheshwari
    Director Product Management
    Cloudera

Navigating the Open Source Risk Landscape

Open source use isn’t risky, but unmanaged use of open source is.

Open source software forms the backbone of nearly every application in every industry. Chances are that includes the applications your company develops as well. If you can’t produce an accurate inventory of the licenses, versions, and patch status of the open source components in your applications, it’s time to assess your open source management policies.

This paper provides insights and recommendations to help organizations and their development and IT teams better manage the open source risk landscape. It covers:

  • Open source license risk and the need to identify and catalog open source licenses
  • Security risk that comes with open source use and inadequate vulnerability management
  • Operational open source risk, version control, and the dangers of using inactive components

The DIY Guide to Open Source Vulnerability Management

According to SAP, more than 80% of all cyber attacks are happening on the application layer,1 specifically targeting software applications rather than the network.

Hackers take the easiest path when determining exploits and choose applications that offer the best attack surface opportunities. Those opportunities are generally created by unpatched or outdated software.

For example, Heartbleed, a dangerous security flaw, critically exposes OpenSSL, an open source project used in hundreds of thousands of applications that need to secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping. Yet 56% of all OpenSSL versions that Cisco Security Research examined in its 2015 security report2 were still vulnerable to Heartbleed, more than two years after the Heartbleed vulnerability was first disclosed and a patched version issued.

This illustrates the difficulty organizations have in inventorying and managing open source components rather than a lack of security diligence. Without a comprehensive list of open source components in use, it is nearly impossible for any organization to identify specific applications that use vulnerable components.

The Human Side of Automation: Putting People at the Center of Process Automation

Automation is not a four-letter word and it’s not something to curse. Especially, for professionals in highly-regulated industries, such as life sciences. Sustaining a competitive advantage goes beyond simply modernizing technologies and lean processes. It’s about empowering people to leverage automation and real-time insights to work smarter and adapt faster to changing regulatory conditions. And, it’s about ensuring that innovative, high-quality products make it to market faster and more affordably.

As digital technology continues to drive the next wave of transformation across all industries and aspects of work – from pharmaceuticals to heavy machinery – it’s important to explore the fear versus the reality that these technologies provide. Just as quality and productivity should always be in sync, so too can automation and improved human capacity.
