The time to act on Big Data is now. Every day that an organization spends
evaluating how they are going to get their hands on and around Big Data
is another day of lost opportunities. Big Data holds the promise of better
understanding for targeting customers, optimizing business processes,
improving healthcare and public safety, enhancing machine and device
performance, strengthening security and law enforcement, and so much more.
Yet, as the volume, velocity and variety of data increase, so do the number of
solutions required to manage and extract actionable intelligence from data.
Some organizations are spending months and even years mired in analyzing
which approach to take or trying to assemble, engineer and deploy Big Data
solutions on their own.
The paralysis by over-analysis that has frozen so many organizations into inaction
is creating the perfect opportunity for threats, criminal activities and cyber crime
to thrive. Domestic and internal criminal activities, fraud, false claims, and even
insider threats from employees or people with malicious intent to harm, coupled
with access to IT systems, are wreaking havoc around the globe.
We’ve seen a growing number of high-profile hacks and attacks on varied
entities, with targets ranging from the White House and U.S. State Department
to Anthem Health and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), just to
name a few in recent headlines. Fraudulent claims cost the Federal government
an estimated $300B per year. And we’ve experienced the devastating impact
of insider threats during the DC Naval Yard and Fort Hood shootings, both of
which were carried out by insiders who might have been stopped with proper
Big Data access and analysis.
Sadly, it seems that organizations are not only missing opportunities to empower
innovation, growth and efficiencies with Big Data. They are missing vital
opportunities to protect their data, valuable information assets and people,
by failing to move forward with Big Data initiatives now. ViON’s DataAdapt
solutions are designed to address these challenges by enabling analysts to
apply advanced analytics, at speed and scale. This helps them uncover hidden
connections buried within hundreds of terabytes of data, bringing rapid clarity
to complex investigations and generating actionable insights, in near-real time.
