Palantir Government

The best way to understand what Palantir can do is to see it in action against real problems. The Analysis Blog features analysis of real data, guest posts from subject matter experts, introductions to new Palantir features, and other tips and tricks to improve your tradecraft.

Less than four months ago, the Southern portion of Sudan seceded and formed South Sudan, only the 5th country to be created this century. In this session, we will demonstrate how Palantir can draw from a plethora of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) data sources (including academic research, blogs, news media, NGO reports and United Nations studies) to rapidly construct an understanding of the conflict underlying this somewhat anomalous 21st Century event. Using a suite of Palantir Helpers developed for OSINT analysis, the video performs relational, temporal, statistical, geospatial, and social network analysis of over a dozen open sources of data.

Note: The key analysis portion of the video begins at about 2:10.

In this demonstration, we will show how an analyst can use Palantir to uncover insider threat.  Using the integrated data and a combination of analysis tools available on the platform, the investigator can seamlessly cross data sets, examine activity, and rapidly reveal suspicious employee behavior in an information security fraud case.

Note: Data used in this video is simulated; any connection to actual individuals is purely coincidental.

This cyberfraud workflow is based on an actual case discovered at one of Palantir’s largest and most successful commercial deployments.  In this demonstration, we will show how an investigator uses Palantir to rapidly surf across data from multiple lines of business generated through customer interactions via multiple channels.  The investigator is able to use a combination of analysis tools available on the platform to quickly trace the origin of a reported threat and protect the bank’s assets from further exfiltration.

Discover how analysts supporting the II Marine Expeditionary Force in Afghanistan’s Regional Command-Southwest are utilizing Palantir to analyze massive amounts of forensic and biometric data. Palantir’s dynamic ontology along with intuitive front-end import and search around features allow analysts to quickly find connections in massive amounts of data.

NOTE: All data is notional, and for demonstration purposes only.
