Addition of near real-time and historical data from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions bolsters security teams’ ability to make quick research-backed decisions and take action

Security and investigation teams piece together data from various research tools and data sources to try to gain a more comprehensive view of the multitude of threats facing their organization. This approach presents a host of challenges. Data and records monitoring is reactive, not proactive, and if an active threat is underway, historical data is less critical to the investigation. Collaboration is challenging with information dispersed across an organization or multiple systems, and reports can take hours to manually piece together and produce.

“Today, security teams are often using multiple tools to gather intelligence and data to gain a more complete picture of their threat landscape. With information coming from many sources, they risk missing critical data that can impact their organization’s safety, productivity and bottom line,” said Manish Mehta, chief product officer at Ontic. “By integrating the most critical data from leading providers, Ontic’s Investigative Research solution provides enterprises with one of the market’s most robust research capabilities integrated into a software-based protective intelligence platform.”
