Redis announced that its Redis Cloud service has secured PCI DSS Level 1 certification, claiming to improve its suite of security and privacy assurances. This compliance is essential for all organisations handling cardholder information and involves rigorous checks to safeguard such data through various protective measures.

The team earned this certification through a thorough evaluation by a qualified security assessor. The certification, which covers Redis Cloud's flexible and annual plans across AWS and Google Cloud, implies that Redis can securely handle over six million transactions a year. 

This update comes soon after the real-time database company announced the integration of Redis Enterprise Cloud’s vector database capabilities with Amazon Bedrock, a service designed to facilitate the creation of generative AI applications using foundation models (FMs).

Redis has a suite of premium customers like AngelOne, Apna, Groww, Motilal Oswal, Purplle, Zee, Bank Mandiri, Gojek, Kumu and more.

A few months ago when ChatGPT experienced downtime due to a flaw in an open-source library, which exposed user conversation titles and ChatGPT Plus subscribers' payment details, Redis played a crucial role in resolving the issue.
