These factors and more have made security analytics software solutions a must-have for government and most enterprise security stakeholders if they want to stay ahead of growing security threats and adapt to the digital age. The faster you can proactively leverage information and connect the dots, the faster you can prevent or mitigate criminal, terror, and business continuity threats. Welcome to the new world of security analytics, where traditional investigation and threat detection methods meet advanced big data analytics to deliver qualitatively improved levels of insight and response. The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift in how to combat security threats - from physical to cyber and everything in between. As we discuss in Three Key Trends Driving the Need for Security Analytics, today’s perpetrators and threats - whether criminal or terrorist, cyber or physical - are highly sophisticated and dangerous, and growing more so every day. In addition, security organizations deal with massive amounts of diverse data, which are typically siloed across multiple systems. Without advanced investigative analytics capabilities these data sources can obscure as much as they reveal, drowning investigators and analysts in irrelevant “noise”. This change in the security domain is a refection of the global trends we see across many industries that deal with massive volumes of data and are increasingly leveraging analytics, such as e-commerce, telecom, healthcare and fnancial services: WHY SECURITY ANALYTICS NOW From To Using technology to simply capture and aggregate information leveraging analytics to generate actionable, data-driven insights Manual, time intensive, error prone work systems that automate data fusion and analysis, augmenting expertise and freeing up time to focus on value-added tasks Organizations working in silos and conducting investigations in a fragmented manner collaboration across multi- functional teams that share a single source of truth
