Our #2019 was challenging. We have started 17 projects in regions where the fight against terrorism is imminent. Let us share with you some insights we gained on some of the most challenging projects. We are looking forward to what 2020 brings!

2. COGNIWARE IN 2019
In 2019 attacks of terrorists in Europe caused death
of 82 people. In the same year actions of terrorist
organizations operating in the Middle East lead to
death of 9782 people and caused injuries to many
more. We believe that safety of people and their
protection is one of the highest goals one can to
achieve. Building on years of experience from
around the world in the domain of big data analysis,
entity link analysis and AI, we’ve gathered vast
amounts of experience that helped us design and
build a solution that helps our clients to save lives.
Big data solutions, like ours, can absorb and work
with enormous quantities of data, uncover hidden
patterns and provide means to work with previously
unimaginable large information sets. On the other
hand, graph analytics allow us to visualize vast
datasets and find hidden links and correlations
between objects. All that combined gives us power
to be prepared for possible terrorist actions and stop
them before they can happen as well as help with
various business problems. Our clients rely on our
work as they themselves may be present at the
same time and place as the people they try to stop.
Outside of this dark world of investigation our
solutions can help also in the private sector. Pattern
analytics – based on information about objects and
relations between the objects in the data the system
can spot unusual patterns – based on your model it
will give you list of suspicious individuals,
transactions, projects or events of any kind and help
you foresee future development. Using other AI
technologies such as face recognition, voice
recognition or object and behavior video detection,
we can recognize otherwise unknown individuals
and much more. Face detection can represent the
difference between identifying attacker in public
place and catching him before any harm will be
done to civilians and a huge disaster, we have all
seen.
"Main weapon in fight against
terrorists is intelligence."
"Big data solutions give us
power to be prepared for
possible terrorist actions."
This year we have started to work on one of the
largest projects in this area. It’s hard to describe all
the knowledge we gathered during past 7 years
working with our clients who gave us the rare
opportunity to observe them doing their daily work.
During this time, we were able to gain their trust and
build elaborate solutions that encapsulate their
domain knowledge. In most cases it contains
sensitive information about modus operandi of
terrorist organizations and ways how armed forces
cope and react to those threats. The best we can do
is give you a small peek into this world.
You may think that main weapons used against
terrorists are rifles, machine guns and explosives,
but the actual power is intelligence. Information
about weapons, hideouts, leaders of the
organizations, their connection to soldiers, means of
transport, routes or ways of communication and
equipment. When gathered to single location this
huge intelligence dataset can provide valuable
insight into the minds of people, their way of thinking
or behavior patterns based on which they execute
their attacks.
Cogniware is a Czech based company,
from the heart of the Europe we offer our
professional skills and help fight
terrorism in most threatened regions on
the globe. Compared to Europe,
countries in Middle East are suffering
from terrorist threats in much larger
extent and the number of resulting
deaths is 100-times higher. This of
course motivates governments in the
region to look for the most advanced
solutions to help them.
