Teradata (NYSE:TDC) today announced the completion of the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) for VantageCloud Lake on Amazon Web Services, Azure and Google Cloud. The PROTECTED security evaluation shows that Teradata’s cloud-native analytics and data platform has achieved the high standards for securing sensitive government and broader industry data and systems as of November 2024. Together with the existing IRAP assessment for Teradata VantageCloud Enterprise (completed in 2023), this new assessment gives VantageCloud customers more flexible and secure options to unify data and deliver trusted AI initiatives across diverse cloud architectures.

Developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), IRAP is a requirement to provide product security assessment to government agencies and critical infrastructure. The assessment provides Australian government agencies and enterprises with greater confidence to harness Teradata VantageCloud, the hybrid cloud platform for Trusted AI at scale, to power AI/ML initiatives across public cloud, hybrid or on-premises environments.

“The completion of this new IRAP assessment highlights our deep commitment to supporting Australian organisations with trusted, innovative cloud capabilities,” said Josh Abbott, Vice President, Teradata Australia, New Zealand and Japan. “Whether customers are working across public, hybrid or private cloud environments, Teradata VantageCloud enables them to drive innovation with the right security guardrails in place – helping them move faster with confidence.”

“As organisations expand their use of AI across complex cloud environments, securing the data foundation becomes critical,” said Billy Spears, Chief Information Security Officer, Teradata. “IRAP assessment demonstrates that Teradata VantageCloud meets the rigorous security and compliance standards needed to help customers safeguard insights and stay resilient in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.”
