Cloudera is proud to announce our recognition as one of the nation’s most trusted cybersecurity providers, one of just 83 companies selected from thousands evaluated nationwide. Validated through expert assessments and public reviews, Cloudera earned top marks in three critical security categories: application and data security, infrastructure security, and operational technology (OT) and IoT security.
This award reflects Cloudera’s cybersecurity leadership across government, finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and education sectors. Whether our customers are managing sensitive citizen data or mission-critical financial systems, Cloudera provides a secure, scalable platform designed to meet the highest standards of trust and compliance.
Where Cloudera Stands Out
Cloudera earned service quality honors in three core cybersecurity domains:
Application & Data Security: Awarded for robust encryption, access control, and governance features.
Infrastructure Security: Honored for our zero-trust architecture and resilient hybrid-cloud capabilities.
OT and IoT Security: Recognized for delivering enterprise-grade security for connected systems and intelligent infrastructure.
These capabilities reflect Cloudera’s long-standing belief that security and governance are foundational to how data platforms should operate.
“Our platform helps customers bring data insights to life quickly and safely,” said Carolyn Duby, Cloudera Field CTO. “That starts with embedding security at every layer, from data to infrastructure to connected systems. We help customers secure and govern data across multiple platforms through a single pane of glass, applying zero-trust principles every step of the way.”
Security Across Verticals: A Business Imperative
Security is a foundational enabler of trust, compliance, and innovation across every industry. Cloudera’s secure-by-design architecture protects everything from research data and healthcare records to payment systems and connected infrastructure.
To support these wide-ranging needs, Cloudera has embedded governance and protection into every layer of our platform. This commitment to compliance is exhibited by recent achievements of FedRAMP Moderate authorization, making us a trusted provider to U.S. government agencies, and PCI DSS 4.0 compliance, unlocking new opportunities for financial institutions to harness AI while maintaining the highest data security standards.
Evolving with the Threat Landscape
As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated and AI-driven, organizations need more than basic protection—they need intelligent, adaptive tools that evolve alongside the threat landscape. That’s why Cloudera secures platforms and empowers customers to derive insight from their own cybersecurity data. We support the full data lifecycle, from ingestion and threat modeling to anomaly detection and AI-enabled response.
“AI is a strategic asset in detection and response,” said Duby. “Cloudera enables some of the world’s most critical enterprises to manage high-volume cyber data and respond quickly using low-code tooling, AI code assistants, and hybrid-cloud solutions.”
To further support this vision, Cloudera’s acquisition of Octopai brings advanced metadata visibility and automated data lineage into the platform, helping customers identify where sensitive data lives, how it flows, and how to govern it securely across complex hybrid environments.
Built for Security. Driven by Innovation
This national recognition confirms what our customers already know: Cloudera is a trusted partner for building secure, data-driven operations at scale. From public sector modernization to financial compliance, we help organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes while turning data into a strategic advantage.
Whether you’re scaling AI in a tightly regulated industry or building mission-critical applications in the cloud, Cloudera delivers the tools and trust needed to move forward securely, intelligently, and confidently.
