In a previous blog of this series, Turning Streams Into Data Products, we talked about the increased need for reducing the latency between data generation/ingestion and producing analytical results and insights from this data. We discussed how Cloudera Stream Processing (CSP) with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink could be used to process this data in real time and at scale. In this blog we will show a real example of how that is done, looking at how we can use CSP to perform real-time fraud detection.
Across the globe, cloud concentration risk is coming under greater scrutiny. The UK HM Treasury department recently issued a policy paper “Critical Third Parties to the Finance Sector.” The paper is a proposal to enable oversight of third parties providing critical services to the UK financial system.
In order to better serve their customers and users, digital applications and platforms continue to store and use sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), genetic and biometric information, and credit card information. Many organizations that provide data for analytics use cases face evolving regulatory and privacy mandates, ongoing risks from data breaches and data leakage, and a growing need to control data access.
Identity verification is a crucial step in ensuring someone is who they say they are. This idea is brought through digital identity verification. This reduces the effects of individuals from creating a fraudulent identity, engaging in fraud-related crimes, or acting without the permission of someone else. Organizations must detect the identity of an individual as they manage many prominent security issues like identity theft, data breaches, and fraudulent transactions.
Passwords are becoming obsolete, and the tech world is exploring various different technologies to allow users to log in without passwords. In a previous article, we discussed the perils of passwords and how FIDO2 can help us go passwordless. However, FIDO2 is no silver bullet as it comes with its fair share of caveats. Magic link is a viable alternative for all those who do not want to use FIDO2. This article discusses magic link in detail and demonstrates how we can use it with Asgardeo.
With the increase in malware attacks on devices, engineers are putting more effort into ensuring the products they build are not vulnerable to these attacks. One such tool that can help mobile engineers reduce vulnerabilities is Mobile Security Framework (MobSF).
