Data streaming software provider Confluent has successfully completed the Australian government's Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) at Protected level.
The certification means Australian government agencies with an Information Security Manual Protected level requirement can use Confluent Cloud across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
This will enable more Australian government agencies to integrate data across their applications and systems as well as improve cybersecurity with Confluent Cloud.
“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.”
