– February 10, 2017
– Cloudera, the global provider of the fastest,
easiest, and most secure data management, analytics and machine learning
platform built on the latest open source technologies, today announced that Apache Spot (incubating) now acts as a modern,
open-source solution that can economically provide a comprehensive cybersecurity hub for forensic, telemetry, and
contextual data. These capabilities combined with log management, compliance,
reporting and advanced netflow analytics are being used to power machine
learning and artificial intelligence (AI) cybersecurity applications for
advanced threat hunting and reduced mean time to detection and investigation.
Since Spot’s launch in September of 2016, Cloudera, alongside Intel and other
project collaborators, have continued to accelerate the larger vision of
fighting cybercrime via a community supported open data model.

In
today’s cybersecurity landscape, there is a proliferation of data that
organizations need to constantly monitor. Cyber criminals have discovered ways
to learn from one another, while enterprises have been operating independently
to fight threats. Spot allows security operation centers to break down siloed
proprietary application data repositories by creating a single, shared open
data model that any vendor or custom security application can plug into. Spot
also works with the Apache Spark community, enabling organizations to harness
the parallel processing power for advanced detection using machine learning and
AI.

“Cobbling
together cybersecurity applications without a common architecture creates data
silos that limit the effectiveness of advanced analytics that can be used for
faster threat detection, investigation and remediation,” said Tom Reilly, chief
executive officer at Cloudera. “The Apache Spot project is breaking down data
constraints to open up new analytics capabilities, enabling organizations
across industries to reduce risk.”

In
September 2016, Intel donated Spot to the Apache Software Foundation with
Cloudera’s support. This donation marked a significant milestone for the
cybersecurity industry. Intel and Cloudera’s efforts towards Apache Spot have
provided a new level of cybersecurity response and the community at large
continues to discover new analytics functionality for detecting advanced cyber
threats that are impacting our society. Since launching, Apache Spot has already
been recognized by the industry and awarded InfoWorld’s 2017 Technology of the Year and an Edison Award for Collective Disruption.

“With Apache Spot, CISOs now have a way to effectively
centralize all of their cybersecurity data in one open platform. Context
Relevant is excited to deliver our ML-driven Context Security Engine on top of
Spot, empowering our customers to rapidly identify and stop advanced persistent
threats. We want to concentrate on innovative results for security analysts,
not the cumbersome management of data sources. Spot’s advantage is knocking out
barriers between organizations’ existing security data repositories, enabling
the Context Security Engine to connect advanced behaviors across datasets and
dramatically reduce the mean time to threat detection.”

“To get a complete picture of a security posture requires
real-time analyses across a diverse set of corporate data sources siloed away
in systems that are too slow or expensive to handle. Apache Spot brings
together this myriad of data sources so Arcadia Data can enable security
professionals to be build advanced visual applications that capture
investigative workflows, real-time incident response and machine
learning-guided data exploration for the very first time across networks,
entities, applications, and endpoints.”
