Commercial Examples

Problem: Criminal networks arrange procurement of medication through

low-cost government contracts, then sell on open market for high profit.

Problem: Sophisticated fraud rings of patients, providers and pharmacies

conspire to circumvent law . Difficult to detect with via traditional analytics.

Data Remains at the Source

• No need for redundant storage silos or client-side resources

Client Access via Lightweight Browser

• Browser-based clients promotes both collaboration and security

Easy and Secure Collaboration

• Collaboration performed at server

• Data does not transfer ownership during analysis

Modern Server-based Java Architecture

• No feature lock-in, Interact with other best-in-class applications

• Highly scalable with no client-side resource requirements

No Data Preprocessing or Redundant Data Storage• Avoid the time & cost of preprocessing / prepositioning target data sets and

the resulting storage management overhead (hardware, security, backup, etc.)

• Data remains on its original server and native format allowing quick access

to newly discovered or updated data;

• Templates can created and saved for ease of future analysis.

Client Access through Lightweight Browser

• Browser-based clients can connect from anywhere, promote

ad hoc collaboration

• Client issues eliminated, extreme server scalability

• (RAM, storage, conflicts, etc.)

• No data touches the client, greatly reducing privacy concerns

Collaboration constraints removed

• Collaboration occurs on a secure server, NO data touches a client

• Data is not in jeopardy if client is “compromised”

• Collaborators can share data without transfer of ownership, greatly reducing

security and privacy concerns

• Two ways to share

• Static PDF image

• Fully functional Centrifuge Dataview, each collaborator can contribute

Static, or Liveand Interactive

Scenario: Cyber Security – investigating network traffic and identifying potential threats

Dataset: NetFlow data with originating and destination IP addresses and users/orgs

1. Identify all paths

Visually highlight all paths that connect subjects of interest

2. Identify & isolate path of interest

3. Iteratively explore suspicious elements

1. Start with suspects 2. Reveal nodes associated with suspect organizations

3. Reveal where traffic is being directed

4. Reveal users associated with suspect traffic (targets)

Query Build Out

As “link-ups” are run, the new “associates” are brought into the picture – building out our relationship graph based on added connections. “Link ups” can be added for as many associates as desired.
