To protect national security, preserve national resources, and ultimately save human lives, a government must gather, process and analyze critical information about potential adversaries. A nation's interests can be protected only when strategic and operational decision makers receive accurate, timely, and actionable intelligence. Providing this intelligence consistently in a rapidly changing global environment presents great challenges.
How CSC Can Help
Because CSC understands the art and science of intelligence, we can provide practical solutions that make a difference in the effectiveness and efficiency of intelligence organizations. CSC applies advanced information technology, expert knowledge, best practices, and business process improvement in all phases of the intelligence cycle (planning and direction, collection, processing, analysis and production, and dissemination).
How Clients Benefit
At the enterprise level, our prowess in systems integration, engineering, and consulting help create IT infrastructures and ways of doing business that put the right tools in the right hands at the right time, so that intelligence staffs and decision makers can get on with the business of protecting the country.
At the working group level, CSC develops and integrates automated tools for unique requirements of specialized intelligence analysis. These tools help intelligence analysts:
Capture and mine information from multiple sources in multiple languages
Create models in which to store working data and test hypotheses
Discover insider threats by tracking network behavior
Automatically analyze and visualize complex data using intelligent software agents.
CSC also provides experienced, cleared intelligence professionals who perform intelligence analysis, database construction and population, editorial support and quality assurance, production and collection management, analytic tradecraft training, on-the-ground acquisition of unique data sets, and foreign language support.
Our Secure Sentient environment is an advanced solution to the challenge of maintaining security compartmentalization without impeding collaboration. Secure Sentient allows workers in the same space, but with different security clearances, to see what they need to see -- and nothing more.
