With development times of ten years or more and costs of over $1 billion per new medicine, pharmaceutical R&D is an expensive, lengthy, and risky process. Enterprises can minimize the risk associated with drug development programs by better understanding the universe of data relevant to particular diseases, targets, and drug candidates. Unfortunately, achieving this level of [...]

One of the most difficult challenges for cyber security analysts is navigating through vast quantities of network data, which can approach petabyte scales and is often distributed across many disconnected systems. In this demonstration, we show how an analyst can use the Palantir Cyber solution to detect beaconing, a network behavior suggestive of malware, by [...]
