IBM has unveiled a new high-speed analysis and criminal investigation software that is designed to uncover hidden criminal threats buried inside disparate corporate data. The new software, IBM i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis (EIA), boasts deep analysis across hundreds of terabytes of data and trillions of objects in just seconds.
EIA analyzes the data to discover weak-signal relationships that reveal the true nature and source of an attack. According to IBM,† the solution unravels these hidden connections that can be divided by as many as six degrees of separation between disparate sources – from corporate records and social media chatter to data accessed by remote sensors and third-party applications. As developments unfold, EIA provides “always-on” recommendations that alert analysts to new related abnormalities.
Built on IBM Power Systems, IBM i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis can work with existing security or fraud solutions. Additional features of the software include:
- Enhanced visualization capabilities: With multi-dimensional visual analytics, investigators can get a comprehensive situational overview of all possible related elements. †
- Open, modular architecture that scales as needs change: IBM i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis is customizable with integration with third-party applications and features, such as natural language processing and complementary analytics at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.
- Interoperability inside and outside the organization: The open design not only integrates with existing infrastructure and other apps, but also allows users to share critical threat information across the company and with partners, customers, and other organizations. †
“While most organizations understand how big data can help prevent the ever increasing threat of cybercrime, they are so overwhelmed by massive data volumes that they can’t act fast enough to turn it into meaningful intelligence to stop criminals,” says Bob Griffin, general manager, i2, threat and counter fraud, IBM. “With IBM i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis, we’ve changed the ability of investigators to find that illusive needle in a haystack that helps them detect a cyber attack. This provides any organization with always-on analytics that turns massive amounts of data into real-time insights in a way that simply wasn’t possible before.”
