Data is the heartbeat of government missions. From fraud detection and COVID population trend analysis, to cybersecurity, fleet-wide predictive maintenance and warfighter protection, federal agencies need a platform that can securely unify the entire data lifecycle anywhere across their enterprise. Cloudera’s Data Platform accelerates your mission by improving your agency’s ability to securely make timely and informed decisions. Jo...

In this meetup, we’ll go through the process of applying machine learning concepts to create a predictive model and validate its cost effectiveness on a publically available NASA dataset that shows how jet engines degrade over time. Using python within a modern cloud platform, we’ll create a gradient boosted regression model using XGBoost, an open-source library, and layer a classifier on top in order to predict when an engine shou...

Government data is increasingly under attack. Adversarial states and state-sponsored actors leverage an ever-expanding range of cyber exploits to steal sensitive data, conduct covert surveillance, and interrupt vital services. A new solution is needed to deliver real-time threat detection and enable the data analysts to access data so they can simultaneously detect anomalies. Cloudera DataFlow (CDF) is a scalable, real-time streaming data pla...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are coming of age. Today, many government agencies are looking to take advantage of AI and data science into their missions. These agencies often face many of the same challenges in getting started on their journey. Isolated projects exist in silos across your agency that put quality, security, governance, and compliance at risk. By taking an “AI factory” approach to turning da...

Some of the most notorious and damaging security breaches happen in minutes. Did you know that they actually began months - if not years - in advance by the perpetrators? Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are considered to be the most dangerous and challenging to detect and defend because of the volume, variety, and velocity of data required to find them - as well as the amount of time and special attention required to catch them. Your advers...

While putting data and analytics at the center of your agency’s strategy may sound obvious, it’s easier said than done. Digital transformation often requires a change in culture that includes rethinking how people work with data, where it’s stored, and the tools used to access it. In fact, it can be such a struggle that many agencies wind up stalling or abandoning their transformation strategies altogether. These challenges c...

Join us for Cloudera Sessions 2018, where D.C.'s smartest data professionals will be discussing many of the newest use cases for machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)--ranging from predictive maintenance and fraud detection to product recommendation engines and proactive customer support. Come gain firsthand experience into how experts like yourself are using data-driven insights to grow businesses, improve efficiencies, and manage...

Whether a consumer, a business, or a government organization, we use images and videos to capture and create a record of events about the world around us. We share that data to communicate in a manner that is often more efficient than the spoken or written word. With the current global climate today we need to be able to interpret the data that is locked in these images to create a 360 degree view of the threat landscape. Together with Cloude...

Put data to work Strata + Hadoop World is one of the largest conferences of its kind in the world, with a laser-sharp focus on how data can be used to shape critical decisions across disciplines and industries, from finance and smart cities to retail and government. Our talented and expert speakers will share compelling data case studies, proven best practices, effective new analytic approaches, and exceptional skills around: Big data and the...

Exploring the path to a more data-driven government will be the focus of the 2017 Cloudera Government Forum, planned for April 25, 2017, at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Government organizations have enormous data resources. Agency leaders and program management professionals seek practical, secure, and effective methods to extract the valuable information captured in their data repositories—from legacy systems to real-time. In its six...
