The White Noise of Intelligence: Finding Relevance with Interactive Analytics

Centrifuge Systems, Inc., a leading provider of next generation business intelligence software, recently published a new white paper for the US Intelligence Community (IC) entitled "The White Noise of Intelligence: Finding Relevance with Interactive Analytics".

This white paper describes how Interactive Analytics works and includes case studies in the areas of Threat Finance and Cyber Security Analysis. Examples of domain relevant visualizations in the form of heat maps, relationship graphs, timelines and maps are displayed for each case study. The use of collaborative analysis is also highlighted in the paper.

Interactive Analytics (IA) is an analyst-centric approach to understanding data in support of better decision making. It brings together three modern innovations in analysis: Interactive Data Visualization, Unified Data Views and Collaborative Analysis. IA is widely used by US Government agencies in some of the most demanding applications in the world including cyber security, financial crimes, homeland defense and counter-terrorism applications.
