Uncovering Cyberfraud at a Large Financial Institution

by Brandon on September 12, 2011

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.

The Palantir Workspace in Your Local Language

by Brandon on February 11, 2011

Awhile back we shared some screenshots of the Elvish Palantir Workspace. We’d like to give an update on our progress with real-world languages. Our internationalization work has enabled us to support menus, text, and buttons in any language, including complex languages such as Arabic and Dari. Also, multiple Palantir Workspace clients configured in different languages can work simultaneously on the same Palantir server.

Below you can see screenshots from version 3.1 of the login screen in Dutch, the Map in Arabic and in Dari, and the Graph in Spanish. Contact us if you want to know more about our internationalization work.

How Palantir Aided the Investigators of “The Pearl Project: The Truth Left Behind”

by Brandon on January 24, 2011

The Center for Public Integrity (CPI), in conjunction with Georgetown University, just completed a three and a half year project identifying the intricate network of co-conspirators in the kidnapping and beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Palantir provided its software platform to the investigators to support analysis of the data and help identify the links between the key actors involved in that heinous crime. The Pearl Project was co-directed by former Wall Street Journal reporter and friend of Daniel Pearl, Asra Nomani, and Barbara Feinman Todd, Journalism director in Georgetown University’s English Department.

Check out CPI’s post about the Project, the full report, or take a look at a chart of the key figures in the crime. The videos below show examples of how Palantir’s software enabled the investigators to uncover, analyze, and understand the network.
