Accelerating Investigations with Digital Intelligence Within an operation as large and complex as a government organization, the overall value of a new digital intelligence solution is easily proven to decision makers. Instead of being viewed as just another analytic function or new system component, digital intelligence platforms are an entirely new solution for investigative teams. In fact, these solutions are able to integrate seamlessly into an organization’s existing security systems and databases and provide a unified, easy-to-use, and intuitive platform for teams to conduct their investigational work. A digital intelligence platform should fuse and analyze not only structured data, but also unstructured data, which accounts for an estimated 80% of all data being generated today. Not only can a digital intelligence platform provide multi-source data collection and analysis, it can also surface information to the user in the right context and at the right time based on investigative workflows. Rather than traditional analytics that simply conduct data analysis and provide results, the platform can automatically determine the data’s relevancy to certain investigations via its machine learning algorithms Additionally, the system can push relevant information to the user, for example, proactive alerts related to changes in investigation status or new data relevant to an ongoing investigation that is found within another event or incident. Not only can a digital intelligence platform provide multi-source data collection and analysis, it can also surface information to the user in the right context and at the right time based on investigative workflows. Digital intelligence platforms do not require investigator or analyst intervention to conduct fused analysis between different data sets. The immediate integration and automatic fusion performed by the platform bolsters the efficiency of investigators’ tasks and speeds up the process of reaching conclusions. The data fusion occurs not only for data sets relevant to one investigation, but actually occurs automatically and continually for all data upon ingestion into the system, whether for tens of data sources or hundreds. This enables investigators to access the digital intelligence platform in tandem and not worry about one investigation or data analysis taking bandwidth away from other analysis tasks; and it ensures they always have access to the most up-to-date data The Benefits of Digital Intelligence Platforms to Big Data Investigations 6 All rights reserved © 2022 Frost & Sullivan | www.frost.com
