Enabling more Australian Government agencies to
use the industry’s leading data streaming platform across cloud
providers
Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFLT), the data streaming pioneer,
today announced that Australian Government agencies with an
Information Security Manual PROTECTED level requirement can now use
Confluent Cloud across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure
and Google Cloud. This will enable even more Australian government
agencies to integrate data across their applications and systems to
reinvent employee and citizen experiences.
Assessed by an independent third-party under the Australian
Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), Confluent
has completed the assessment of Confluent Cloud according to the
PROTECTED standards set by the Australian Signals Directorate. This
highlights Confluent’s commitment to supporting its customers for
data security, compliance and privacy needs.
“With Australian Government agencies relying more and more on
data-driven decisions, they can no longer operate on data that has
been stored for some time in data at rest systems,” said Simon
Laskaj, Regional Director at Confluent ANZ. “With the successful
completion of the IRAP assessment at the PROTECTED level,
government agencies can now transform fragmented internal systems
and workflows with Confluent. This will enable real-time
applications for its citizen services across multi and hybrid-cloud
environments, allowing citizens to enjoy more digital and connected
experiences when engaging with agencies. Confluent is already
supporting departments at the state and federal levels, with a
dedicated on-ground team of security-cleared data streaming
experts. This milestone reaffirms our commitment to support both
new and existing partnerships with Australian Government
agencies.”
Two recent Forrester reports recognised Confluent as a leader:
The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Data Pipelines and The Forrester Wave™:
Streaming Data Platforms, Q4 2023. As the latter states, “streaming
data is the pulse of an enterprise.” Data Streaming Platforms have
become a distinct category and a mission critical component of the
data stack. What was once a nice-to-have, is now indispensable for
any organisation to operate in real time.
Key advantages of Confluent’s complete data streaming platform
include:
- Stream: With the transformative Kora engine, Confluent
provides a reimagined data streaming experience that offers
superior scale, elasticity, resilience, global availability and
cost-efficiency across hybrid and multicloud architectures.
- Connect: Confluent’s ecosystem of zero code connectors
comprises over 120 pre-built connectors, more than 70 fully managed
connectors, and the flexibility to include Custom Connectors to
simplify the integration of custom data sources and destinations.
Confluent also facilitates convenient access to streaming data in
various tools with native GUI based integrations.
- Process: Confluent provides native stream processing
capabilities to join, filter, aggregate and enrich data
continuously at the time of generation. This drives greater
portability, consistency and reuse of the data while allowing
downstream systems and applications to get the most enriched,
up-to-date view.
- Govern: Confluent’s Stream Governance suite provides a
simple, self-service experience for teams to discover, trust and
understand their data while remaining compliant with evolving data
regulations and security standards.
With Confluent, more Australian government agencies can:
- Provide data-rich government services based on enriched,
high-quality data to deliver better citizen experiences;
- Be a connected government that gathers and shares data
across departments, offices and agencies to advance its Data and
Digital Government Strategy; and
- Elevate the nation’s cybersecurity vision by providing
fast, actionable insights to policy makers, regulators and the
justice system to ensure citizen safety.
