Security, risk, and compliance
Challenge
Improving regulatory compliance.
Solution
Today, the world’s most innovative enterprises unlock value from their data and compete in the data age with the most valuable and transformative business use cases like predictive maintenance, genomics research, and real-time compliance monitoring.
These use cases require multiple analytics workloads and data science tools and machine learning algorithms to run against the same diverse datasets. However, many businesses still struggle with limited data visibility and insufficient insights, often caused by:
- Analytic workloads running independently—in silos—because even newer cloud data warehouses and data science tools were never designed to work together
- Data being everywhere—in data centers, public clouds, and at the edge—and companies have no practical way to run analytics or apply machine learning algorithms to all their data
- An incoherent approach to data privacy or IP protection—often resulting in onerous controls that limit business productivity and increase costs
Government Solutions
