Big-Data Analytics Risks Becoming Jammed
Big data and its analytics are becoming the basis many activities in the business, government, and the security sectors. Organisations have the potential get a real understanding and advantage by using big data analytics tools that offer a new understanding of their customers, potential clients and their business strategy.
In many cases, however, the information streamed to law enforcement agencies and security organisations is not synchronised with other databases and is not analysed in an optimised way due to difficulties in coping with the amount of information and with its coherent analysis.
This scenario still prevails and as time goes on this will get worse as the amount of data increases.
Organisations have a lot of scenarios and choices to consider when trying to choose the correct data analytics software and tools. The aim is to use the right tools for your organisations business objectives and this analysis should be done first with an independent audit using a consultant.
Some of the things to consider are that databases that operate separately and do not communicate with other databases lead to a reality of partial information and difficulties in the understanding of the whole picture.
In such a situation security events and criminal activities materialise just because a piece of information was missed or wasn’t processed into clear insights.
In an era that draws from big data, its production and analysis, the major challenge lies in the fusion and integration of multiple information sources. Organisations are compelled to stream information from various systems, in different environments, in a structured and unstructured way, in multiple languages, formats, technologies, etc.
Big data analysis in the digital age is at the forefront of the current intelligence world. It is due to those challenges that analysts in all security and law enforcement systems are required to operate dozens of different systems in order to analyse and extract information, for the purpose of creating an accurate intelligence picture.
This state of affairs also hampers both their instruction and their continuous work.
Technological capabilities are, therefore, demanded, in order to enable the integration of the various databases and simple analytic capabilities, for maximising and making efficient the core operations of the security organizations in general, and the analyst’s work in particular.
Chen Vakrat Ben-Mordechai, VP Business Development of TA9 at Rayzone Group, asserts that “organisations don’t utilise more than 8% of the accessible information due to difficulties in the integration and operation of the intelligence systems.”
It is an intuitive system based on an application configuration, just as in a smartphone, with no need for any instruction. It enables the analysts to analyse huge amounts of information in a simple, visual manner while integrating the various sources. Moreover, the analyst can process the data independently, add new data and create new queries, and in fact manage operations and investigations in the most efficient way.
TA9 is a software house developing an analytical off-the-shelf product designed for the federal and enterprise markets. The company’s team is made of tech-savvy veterans of the Israeli intelligence community.
