Case Study: Leading Retail Bank identifies fraud, manages risk, and improves compliance with Cloudera

Identifying Fraud, Managing Risk and Improving Compliance in Financial Services

Cloudera and Datameer teamed up to help financial services firms facing an explosion of data from digitized products, increased transaction volumes, new unstructured sources, and tighter regulations. Traditional data warehouses and ETL processes couldn’t scale to petabyte-era needs, leaving firms exposed to undetected fraud, poor risk models and costly compliance gaps.

Their solution pairs Cloudera Enterprise Core (Hadoop + Cloudera Manager) with Datameer’s native Hadoop analytics to ingest, store and analyze diverse datasets at scale. The platform gives analysts a spreadsheet-style interface, built-in connectors, data lineage and visualization tools that accelerated fraud detection (including rogue trading), improved risk modeling and automated regulatory data quality checks—reducing time and cost while enhancing compliance and competitive insight.
