New solutions and software to help modernize public safety worldwide, managing both big data and big budget deficits have been introduced by SAS, according to an announcement. The new platform will combine SAS Analytics and SAS Security Intelligence with Memex’s secure search and intelligence-management technologies.
Ian Manocha, VP for SAS Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (AP), stated, Across developed and developing worlds alike, public security budgets are being slashed and resources cut. Yet, pressure mounts for improved results against increasingly sophisticated, globalized and technologically advanced criminals and terrorists. SAS is the first packaged offering to help agencies manage and connect intelligence silos, dip into open-source data streams and apply big-data analytics to stay one step ahead of the criminals – all cost-effectively and securely.
Sudipta K. Sen, Regional Director South East Asia, CEO & Managing Director SAS Institute (India), said, “SAS’ world-leading Public Security Solution empowers government agencies across geographies to efficiently predict, prevent and respond to threats in real time. We are excited by the positive responses received from government agencies in India and we are confident that they will harness the power of analytics to further enhance public safety and national security.
The new SAS portfolio covers four critical areas of public security: law enforcement, national security, fusion centres and border control.
