QUIPO Automation for Decision Augmentation

QUIPO DECISION INTELLIGENCE

The Right Information, At The Right Time, To The Right People, In The Right Way

QUIPO is a Decision Intelligence platform based on AI algorithms that transforms data into knowledge and provides Decision Support and Decision Augmentation more and beyond traditional solutions based on conventional IT technologies

Value drivers

Multilayer analysis in a unique solution

The integrated collection of multiple information assets (internal or external) enables the possibility to combine multiple analysis models (video tagging, audio tagging, semantic analysis, face recognition, location identification, feature detection, link analysis, etc.).

Prompt Information from large datasets

More effective real time access to external and internal information minimizes reputational risks, and a fraud and product development mitigates costs

Unique platform for Better Intelligence

A central platform, specifically designed to support the intelligence cycle, help the possibility to improve the analysis, dissemination and production possibilities

How Is It Different?

  • Fully customizable software platform specifically designed for the efficient management of structured and unstructured data
  • AI Technologies to automate and augment the analysis activities. Different modules (semantic module, image tagging/face recognition modules, "anomalous behaviour" module) which works on machine learning, cognitive computing and deep learning
  • Multiyear experience in the intelligence domain and enterprises security transformed into a platform that supports analysts from A to Z

QUIPO Data Centric Intelligence Architecture

  1. CY4 has been cited by Gartner as a cool vendor of composite AI (ref. Innovation Insight for Composite AI published 10 January 2022)

Observe – Orient – Decide - Act

Heterogeneus Information Collection + Data Valorisation + Data Analysis = Intelligence for a Decision

Decision Intelligence = Decision Augmentation

Use of predictive algorithms (what will happen) together with prescriptive algorithms (what to do) exponentially increase automation factor of the decision phase in an Augmented Decision Process

RTA Real Time Analytics Upgrade your threat detection tools

RTA is a cyber security application framework that allows realtime ingestion, processing, enrichment and analysis of different kind of security events, aka Modern SIEM RTA enables the analyst to detect anomalies and establishes the conditions to rapidly strike back

Value drivers

Sensors are everywhere

Smart collection and normalization of every sensor enables: understandable data meaning, rapid anomaly detection among billions of data. Raw Network traffic can be collected and analysed as well

More EnrichmentMore ContextBetter Insight

RTA enrich all events adding information on the execution context, the involved entities and the purposes of the action.

Drill down and Situation Awareness

A single point of view for the Analyst allows more efficient browsing, helping to detect entities and their relationships. RTA is able to identify relationship network, through visualization tools allowing for a more accurate analysis of threats.

How Is It Different?

"Time Machine" approach, which allows the analyst both to gather historical information (so to "freeze the crime scene") and to flash forward to gather information regarding potential effects of occurring events

  • Composite Artificial Intelligence Technologies boost RTA during the enrichment and correlation phase, allowing faster exploitation of information
  • Alarms are based on correlation, machine learning or behavioral rules Alarms are operated by the indexing engine and then transferred to the graphical user interface which allows the analyst to perform several actions simultaneously to handle alarms

SENTRY Mobile APT- Detector

Sentry is a solution for the analysis and detection of malware on Android based devices in order to verify their compromise. Unlike an antivirus that analyzes threats against known items, Sentry detects by analyzing mis-configurations and anomalous behavior at the system level attributable to compromises by APT (Advanced Persistent Threath) agents.

It is a physical device or one that can be managed centrally via app and WiFi network which, once connected/installed on the device to be controlled, returns an output (OK/KO).

Sentry is structured in 3 main items:

  • License for "Sentry Core"
  • "Sentry Mobile Sweeper" Terminals
  • "Sweep cartridge" scan instance packages
