While the traditional broadcast media monitoring requirement has grown to include online video sources, the world of Big Data continues to grow and provide even more sources of unstructured data that can provide meaningful and actionable intelligence in real-time if an organization is able to gain access to it in an automated and scalable way.
The exponential growth of social media platforms and open source media such as websites, forums, blogs and chat rooms, has created an enormous number new data sources and created new political and social risks for governments and organisations. Our customers and their employees now live in this world – a world of emails, blogs, video, social networking sites, and call center conversations – rather than one in which data is squirreled away in rigid structured databases. This is the future of information computing, and represents a fundamental shift in how organisations and people interact with information.
The ability to track and analyse open and social media activities and sentiment can provide situational awareness for public events, security issues, criminal activities and emergency situations. Combined with the ability to search and review historical data this can provide powerful information for decision makers to enable appropriate response and incident management.
To achieve this in a practical and useful way requires a fundamentally different approach, where meaning and context can be derived from these data sources and turned into actionable intelligence in real-time.
Zenith provides a Real-Time, language independent approach to these data sources. We consolidate all open source and social media interactions into a single platform, providing the most recent, relevant and actionable open source information and analysing it to enable our customers to enhance situational awareness through the identification of patterns and valuable insights across all channels and automatic notification of any emergent situations.
Security investments can have far reaching repercussions and can impact your organisations security for many years. It is important that you make informed decisions and feel confident in your investments.

Virtually every organization is suffering from a deluge of data. For most firms, data is increasing by over 100 percent every quarter. While some of this resides in structured databases, a vast majority exists in files, web streams, audio, video, email, social media conversations, mobile interactions, images, and other unstructured data formats.
Zenith provides customers with the ability to access and understand virtually all of their structured and unstructured information assets across their organisation, including databases, documents, audio, video and social media, in a large range of languages, including Arabic, without knowing exactly where the information exists. Enterprise search and knowledge management is different from web search, it requires secure access to multiple repositories, file formats, data, and content and needs to work across multiple user types.
Our advanced search solution uses multiple search models to help you significantly improve the speed, accuracy, and completeness of your search and is easy-to-use, adding the necessary human touch by allowing you to quickly find information based on concepts and context, yielding more relevant results.
Big Data is a relatively new term but something that Zenith has been working with for over a decade through our partnership with HP’s Big Data platforms. In the security world it is particularly relevant as our customers seek to leverage and better manage both their existing security infrastructure and data repositories and the ever growing sources of structured and unstructured digital information, both self-generated and from Open Source Information such as broadcast television, websites and social media.
Unstructured data, human information—such as social media, video, audio, email and free text—is an incredibly rich source of information that contains diverse insights such as sentiment, risks and threats to a government or individual, and even hidden activities of criminals, terrorists, and hackers. It is estimated that 90 percent of all digital information generated is unstructured.
Structured and semi-structured data, stored in traditional databases and data repositories, continues to provide a vital role. With the constantly growing volume of data traditional data warehouses are no longer able to manage the sheer volume and speed of data.
Zenith partners with HP Big Data, the global leader in managing all data types, unstructured, semi-structured and structured – whatever the volume and whatever the data source and type. HP’s Big Data portfolio combined with Zenith’s extensive system integration and software development capability provides a diverse range of solutions to support all government and organisations with their security and operational requirements. Big Data provides organisations with vast opportunities to leverage their data if they implement the right solutions. Zenith can provide you with the tools to analyse large volumes of data to uncover hidden patterns, hidden patterns, The ability to understand diverse data gives you a 360-degree view of the vital intelligence needed to drive sound decisions and actions and enables you to work faster and more efficiently.

Real-time reporting and advanced analytics tools enable you to optimize your site management in real time and review historical behavior to predict future trends. Through the creation of automated alerts your operations team can deploy additional staff or open and close temporary entry and exit points to manage an increase in pedestrian volumes and ensure better traffic flow.
Traffic monitoring and analysis, both on public roads and within private sites, such as shopping centres and car parks, can provide important operational and security information. Using advanced video analytics and additional sensors to identify and track vehicles through large sites can provide operators with important information on site capacity, traffic flows, peak and low periods and potential security issues such as abandoned vehicles, traffic jams and vehicles travelling in the wrong direction.
Real-time reporting and advanced analytics tools enable you to optimize your traffic management in real time and review historical behavior to predict future trends. Through the creation of automated alerts your operations team can deploy additional staff or traffic enforcement officers to manage an increase in traffic volumes and ensure better traffic flow.
For a safe city environment, monitoring traffic flow and managing potential safety hazards and stress levels of motorists is critical. Deployment of sensors and CCTV across key areas of the city can provide a centralized view of an entire city’s traffic flow in real-time and enable centralized co-ordination of assets in the field.
In addition to managing traffic flow it is also possible to detect and prosecute traffic violators through the use of video analytics and other sensors to capture video evidence and issue approporiate warnings or fines for offences.

True security requires a complete picture and full understanding of all data sources. Intelligence information resides in diverse formats and comes from diverse sources. The ability of a human operator to interpret and understanding these disparate information sources and types is tedious and not scalable. The use of technology to manage the real-time flow of information and intelligence is critical in today’s modern law enforcement and homeland security operators.
Zenith combines the multiple technologies of HP’s Big Data platforms and our diverse security and surveillance technologies to provide a complete picture, in real-time and retrospectively, providing users with a coherent intelligence picture, reducing analysts and operators workloads and enabling the discovery of the unknown unknowns.
As each organisations workflow and existing systems are different Zenith provides a flexible and consultative approach to developing a data fusion solution for each of our customers. Building in workflows and reporting, ensuring traceability of information and its access and ensuring the highest levels of scalability and security, Zenith can develop a solution for any data fusion requirement.
