Session 3-1: Unknown Unknowns – A New Class of Analytics

Data is increasing, threats proliferating, and agencies stand in the middle. How can they combat a 40 percent growth in targeted attacks against government systems? How can they protect the homeland? In this session, speakers will share how a new class of analytics is providing agencies with the tools they need to keep America safe. Focusing in on the “unknown unknowns” that represent the greatest vulnerabilities, agencies are empowering analysts with tools that combine disparate data sets, enabling rapid visualization of the threat environment in a way previously impossible. Join experts from across law enforcement and intelligence communities, as well as state and local governments, for an animated discussion on the latest platforms and emerging technologies employed to help agencies deliver on their missions.
