SYDNEY, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- DATAWORKS
SUMMIT/HADOOP SUMMIT -- Hortonworks, Inc.® (NASDAQ: HDP) a leading
innovator of open and connected data platforms, today announced the
general availability of Hortonworks Cybersecurity Platform (HCP)
powered by Apache Metron. HCP visualizes diverse, streaming
security data at scale to aid security operations centers (SOCs) in
detecting and responding to threats. The open source platform is
already being used by enterprises to detect cyber threats in real
time and build business value through security services.
"The amount of data that organizations must secure and analyze
is simply beyond human scale," said James
Sirota, director of security solutions at Hortonworks.
"We're solving for big-data scale by combining the critical mass of
an open source development community with a new automated platform
and an extensible open data model that is uniquely adaptable and
scalable. With HCP, security teams will be much more productive and
can eliminate most needs for lower-level DIY development."
HCP takes a data-science-based approach to cybersecurity with
behavior profiling and machine learning to combat threats as they
are escalating. HCP's extensible open data models are designed to
expand reach into different data types relevant to security
investigations and provide flexibility for data enrichment and
transformation. The result is more security threats thwarted, with
better detection, and the reduction of false positives.
For Managed Security Service Providers looking to build out
their cyber security capabilities, HCP allows security teams and
security data scientists to focus on differentiated value, rather
than infrastructure. The extensibility of HCP's framework means
emerging new algorithms can be plugged into production quickly. As
a result, HCP delivers rapid time-to-value and gives customers and
service providers the leverage effect of a whole community and
partner eco-system.
Core features of HCP include:
- Ingest and data enrichment in real-time of security data
sources at millions of events per second.
- Real-time behavior profiling at scale.
- Petabyte scale storage platform to allow larger training sets
and replay when a cyber threat is detected.
- Rapid production of machine learning, allowing data scientists
to work in real-time monitoring environments faster.
- User interfaces to make SOC analysts more productive and
dashboard and notebook interfaces to make data scientists more
effective.
"With HCP, our team is able to secure our customers' data at any
scale and eliminate false positives that can easily bog down IT
teams," said Jeffrey de Graaf, vice
president of marketing and product management at QSight IT. "The
intensive use of AI that is powered by Hortonworks helps us manage
and analyze more than one million events for each of our customers
every day, ensuring our customers remain operational."
HCP is powered by Apache Metron, an open source Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) project dedicated to providing an extensible and
scalable advanced security analytics platform to detect and
mitigate security risks in real time. Metron achieved top-level
project status in the ASF in April of this year, signifying it has
hit a milestone in building a strong community which is essential
in combating organized cybersecurity attacks.
