Endeca, the search and discovery firm, has been around for over 10 years now (an eon for a dot.com firm). In 2009, Endeca delivered a complete overhaul of their core indexing technology, and today is now scaling up to billion (yes with a B) record terabyte-scale deployments. For Big Data deployments, they offer Hadoop integration, virtualization and query federation.
However, for pragmatically minded DoDIIS technologists, the most exciting news from Endeca might actually be the turnkey analytical application that now comes out of the box. This new product cuts the project lead time for analysts to start using capabilities to just weeks, and has already been deployed against requirements that run the gamut from intelligence investigation and financial analysis to supply chain readiness.
Cyber Situational Awareness is a great example of the kind of analytical app that sits in the Endeca wheelhouse. Many streams of data constantly pour into the SOC: log analysis, incident reports, network analysis, threat intelligence, and more. When a significant incident occurs, the urgent question is not only “how do we handle the incident” but “what’s the impact to current missions and readiness?” Endeca lets the SOC answer that question with search/discovery tools, by interactively tracing the dependency relationships that start with the compromised asset or exfiltrated data. All the key data is ingested into a common operating picture, inside which analysts can search, drill and pivot through lists and visualizations of each cyber data source.
