Beyond Compliance: Confluent's Commitment to Trust and Transparency

In the context of increasing reliance on real-time data streaming within cloud infrastructures, Confluent emphasizes the importance of security, risk management, and compliance as critical components for modern enterprises. With investments in security being a top priority for IT leaders, Confluent introduces initiatives to strengthen trust and transparency, including the announcement of their Trust Principles and the signing of the Secure by Design Pledge coordinated by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). To enhance transparency, Confluent is releasing comprehensive white papers detailing its security posture, covering topics like their multi-layered defense strategies, security responsibilities, data residency, and vulnerability management. These efforts are supported by third-party certifications and are part of a broader strategy to enable businesses to accelerate initiatives without compromising security, offering detailed documentation to help organizations make informed decisions. Additionally, Confluent is promoting the capabilities of their cloud-based Apache Kafka service, highlighting new features in the Confluent Platform 8.0 and its integration with AWS EventBridge for scalable, event-driven applications.
