Analysis & Visualization Technology
Analysts need to rapidly identify critical information within huge and disparate data sets. Commonalities, trends, links and connections are the key to preventing threats.
The latter is no easy task, however, and takes Analyst time which may be better spent on complex analytical work.
Organizations need a solution to:
- Handle large amounts of structured and unstructured data – organizations don’t know what they will be investigating tomorrow, so all information is valuable
- Retrieve information quickly from various heterogeneous sources – seconds can make a difference
- Analyse and visualise that information – this enhances the individuals’ ability to rapidly assimilate information
- Illustrate connections among people, events and places – allowing analysts to quickly identify what they did not know
- Allow users to drill down and interrogate those connections further – to identify any additional, unknown links
- Show users the type, direction and strength of connections – which assists their decision making and allocation of time for investigating these links
- Make disseminating new insights to management fast and effective
Memex’ Analysis & Visualization technology frees-ups valuable Analyst time and allows actions to be taken and decisions made based on real-time information and insight. Organizations are provided with an unparalleled level of support in threat detection, and Analysts have a head start because they are able to quickly and effectively mine the widest pool of data available to find unexpected links and connections and use them to:
- Identify and eliminate threats
- Solve crimes
- Reduce risk to personnel
- Prevent financial and resource loss
- Identify and resolve highly complex and hidden threats (e.g. cross-border drugs operations and national security issues)
