Odyssey received a great distinction at 2015 Data Impact Awards where the company was announced as the winner in the category of Operational Analytics for the most admirable architecture.

Odyssey’s Executive Directors received the award at a ceremony hosted by Cloudera on September 29th, in New York.

Data Impact Awards, having become firmly established in the BigData field, aim to honor organizations that have seen a material impact within their business operations using CDH, the world’s most dynamic open source Hadoop-based distribution. Odyssey competed amongst many international widely known organizations, and was selected as the winner by a committee of over 20 esteemed industry experts and thought leaders.

The award is the result of Odyssey’s innovative approach on implementing BigData Analytics, in order to maximize the efficiency of ClearSkies SECaaS SIEM, a home-grown platform, which the company has developed in order to address the need of organizations of any size to effectively and efficiently manage the wealth of log data generated by their mission critical systems/applications and communication links.

In his statements, the Executive Director of Odyssey, Eleftherios Antoniades, expressed his pride and satisfaction for this honorable distinction and stressed that this is a great reward for the company’s efforts but also a global recognition of the architecture and performance of the ClearSkies SECaaS SIEM platform. “Through implementing CDH”, he stated, “this revolutionary approach comes, in fact, to set new foundations in the field because among other things, it drastically increases the multilevel analysis and correlation of billions or trillions of events in mere minutes or even seconds. As a result, the time needed to detect real threats and attacks on the infrastructure of an organization is drastically reduced, thus enabling early intervention in addressing these effectively”. In conclusion, he stated that “This architecture definitely opens the way for future development and enhancement of the ClearSkies SECaaS SIEM platform. As we have proved thus far, we are never at ease and we never step away from any challenge”.
