Social Security Company Nexgate's Success Relies on Cassandra

For this meetup we are excited to be joined by two members of the Nexgate team, Rich Sutton, CTO and Harold Nguyen, Senior Data Scientist.

What You'll Learn at this Meetup:

The accuracy of any security product is directly tied to the breadth of the corpus of data upon which it is built. For Nexgate, this means that the success of our products is inextricably tied to our ability to save everything we've ever scanned forever, but in a way that is still readily accessible. In the days before NoSQL, this was hard. This is how Datastax and Cassandra make it easy
