Problematic researchers pose alarming new risks to U.S. national security, supply chains, and critical infrastructure. Wittingly and unwittingly, these researchers expose potent technology breakthroughs to malign foreign actors through normal research activities and cultures.
Open, collegial research cultures increase national security vulnerabilities in three ways:
- Creating undetected gaps in military and civilian technology development ecosystems
- Expanding the attack surface exposed to cybersecurity and supply chain threats
- Obscuring and blending financial flows between legitimate and malign funding sources
Only advanced analytics - combining historic, real-time, and public data - can counter these risks. This investigative capability must include in-memory data associations, all-source market sensing, and process automation to support diverse economic and security analysis teams.
Qlik uniquely overcomes these challenges by ingesting more data sources than anyone else, automating analytical processes, and maturing the workforce’s use of analytics. This drives trusted decisions, automated discovery, workforce data literacy, and governed information sharing with approved agency stakeholders.
