Preface
This report focuses on data infrastructure, engineering, governance, and security in the changing financial industry. Information in this report is based on the 2015 Strata + Hadoop World conference sessions hosted by leaders in the software and financial industries, including Cloudera, Intel, FINRA, and MasterCard.
If there is an underlying theme in this report, it is the big yellow elephant called Hadoop—the open source framework that makes processing large data sets possible. The report addresses the challenges and complications of governing and securing the wild and unwieldy world of big data while also exploring the innovative possibilities that big data offers, such as customer event hubs. Find out, too, how the experts avoid a security breach and what it takes to get your cluster ready for a Payment Card Industry (PCI) audit.
