NZO Cloud Chosen by CyberSecurity Malaysia for Enhanced Cyber Forensic Data Management
NZO Cloud, a pioneering developer of high-performance computing and big data computing solutions, has been selected by CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) to provide an advanced turn-key cluster server. CyberSecurity Malaysia, a specialized national cybersecurity agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), is entrusted with safeguarding critical information infrastructure to protect the public, economy, and government services from cybersecurity threats. With an annual influx of approximately 10,000 security incident reports and a rising trend in cyber-incidents such as fraud, intrusion, and cyber-harassment, CSM required a robust infrastructure upgrade to securely store and access vast amounts of cyber forensic data.
After conducting an extensive global search for a suitable partner, CSM chose NZO Cloud for its expertise in crafting cutting-edge HPC and Big Data computing solutions, with a client portfolio that includes prestigious entities like the US Army, NASA, and renowned US research universities like Harvard.
To cater to CSM’s requirements of a powerful and energy-efficient system, NZO Cloud engineers custom-built a state-of-the-art CloudOOP Rax Cluster solution. This integrated system provides exceptional performance with a unified view of diverse security data streams, empowering CSM to swiftly detect and respond to emerging threats.
The comprehensive deployment consisted of ten NZO Cloud CloudOOP 12000 Data Nodes and three CloudSeek Name Nodes, preconfigured with essential rack, 10GigE network switch, and power connections. Additionally, Hortonworks HDP Data Platform and Apache Metron were preinstalled to facilitate the CSM team’s tasks. Apache Metron is a cutting-edge streaming analytics application that centralizes security monitoring and analysis, making it easier for security operations personnel to carry out their responsibilities. With a total storage capacity of 150 terabytes, the NZO Cloud platform ensures high processing performance for central analysis of multiple incident images.
The promise of AI has been around for years, but it remained elusive due to hardware limitations. Today, the convergence of cloud computing, virtualization, faster processors, and massive storage devices has brought AI closer to reality. The explosion of data from various sources further fuels the capabilities of Big Intelligence. Yet, at its core, Big Intelligence is an augmentation of human capabilities, not a replacement for human intelligence.
We are living in an era of exciting possibilities with data and high-performance computing. As companies integrate Big Data with high-powered computing, Big Intelligence will continue to improve and create more innovative applications. Let’s embrace this era with enthusiasm, acknowledging that Big Intelligence is a remarkable achievement of human ingenuity, and not be misled by the misnomer of AI. The power of data and advanced hardware empowers humanity to progress and evolve further.
