Security and governance big issues in Big Data “If I have all my data on Hadoop, I better understand my security, my risk – who is touching it,” said Walia, introducing Informatica’s new product Secure@Source that gives users a single pane of glass to see who is accessing the data lake. He gave use-case examples, including Informatica customer Western Union Holdings, Inc., which uses Hadoop for secure money transfers, creating large-scale data and fraud detection issues. “We understand data problems, and we can do them at scale for them,” said Walia. Informatica becomes a “mega unicorn” of private companies Wallia listed three benefits to becoming a private company: The company can now work with customers to choose whatever business model it wants. It can take greater investment risks without worrying about short-term results. Walia said it “allows us to take the long-term view rather than getting caught up in the short term.” Informatica has the opportunity to come out a bigger, more valuable company benefiting both employees and customers. @theCUBE #BigDataNYC
