Borneo Announces First Ever Data Security Solution For Providing Real-Time Sensitive Data Risk Remediation for Confluent Kafka Streams
Today, Borneo Data Inc., the leader in AI-Native data security, announced the availability of Borneo’s integration with Confluent Kafka Stream Catalog. With this first ever integration of its kind, organizations leveraging the power of Kafka Streams for dynamic data processing and management can now observe and manage sensitive data in real-time and drastically improve compliance and data governance.
Achieving Governance at Scale with Borneo and Confluent Kafka
Borneo is designed to help organizations achieve continuous compliance and data protection through accurate and actionable real-time data discovery of even data-in-motion. When integrated with Confluent Kafka, Borneo automates the process of scanning Kafka data streams for sensitive information and feeding the identified infotypes into the Confluent Kafka Stream Catalog. This integration provides a seamless way to ensure data governance at scale in real-time. In addition, only Borneo can then also offer an additional layer of protection automatically by encrypting sensitive from end-to-end. By being able to automate these actions Borneo:
- Ensures that organizations are more strictly following industry regulations and best practices regarding data protection to better achieve compliance
- Protects against access to sensitive data by Confluent employees, including SRE and Engineering
- Prevents exposing sensitive data through third-party tools we use, such as Amazon S3 and others
