The Challenge
Investigating threats with delayed intelligence
Managing the activity of one of the country's most high-profile corporate families meant every investigation carried a heightened sense of urgency. As a security team of one, balancing a growing threat landscape with limited time made it difficult to stay ahead of potential threats.
When new cases emerged, intelligence depended on third-party providers that lacked real-time alerting. The Security Services Manager relied on multiple third-party providers, managed countless passwords, manually searched through large volumes of data, and often waited too long for critical information to support investigations.
The Solution
A connected platform for proactive investigations
With threats on the rise, the Security Services Manager turned to Ontic's Platform to proactively manage threats and persons of interest. By bringing historical and real-time intelligence together in one place, Ontic provided faster access to complete, reliable information.
Real-time investigative intelligence
Waiting hours—or even minutes—for critical information can make the difference between identifying a threat and missing it. Ontic delivers real-time intelligence that enables faster, more confident decisions.
A complete picture of every person of interest
When a manipulative individual tied himself to the family through fabricated relationships and suddenly disappeared, Ontic surfaced new vehicle information within hours — bringing renewed clarity to a stressful case.
“It's not just the system, but the Ontic team. They become a partner in protecting our principals. The term 'force multiplier' holds true.”
