Enterprise Digital Intelligence Risks

Ronald Kopfer Jr, Founder, and Chairman at Heureka Software, LLC based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Enterprise Digital Intelligence Risks and the Need for Smarter Search Tools.

The digital global age creates a large amount of digital content- that is digital data. Without having an effective ability to search digital data and have timely access to it, is like having digital content that has no value– if it is not accessible in the right format at the right time. The solution seems to revolve around “search engines”. Having effective “search engines” is how individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) will be able to access the digital content either on an individual computer, intranet, or internet.

When we talk about any individual entity, organization, or enterprise, it is through such “search engines” that the internal human resources (individuals) find the information they need from anywhere, in any format, from anywhere within their entity – in databases, document management systems, inside anywhere-anyplace within their corporate boundaries. Getting the right information at the right time is the key to the right digital intelligence.

So in absence of effective tools and techniques, for any entity across NGIOA to have to go through large amounts of digital data within its organizational boundaries across nations is a complex challenge and a critical security risk.

While there are several search engines for the digital data and information that is published on the internet, when it comes to any individual entity or enterprise internal intranet across the geographical boundaries, effective “search” is still a complex challenge.

This is more so—when the nature of enterprise boundaries is now blurred in cyberspace, geospace, and space. (CGS). Moreover, there are reports that most enterprises still lack a central data and information repository that covers their boundaries across CGS. Even the ones that have one are not very effective.

When enterprise data and data intelligence search is still a complex challenge and when we don’t have an ability to know whether the data and information that is found within the enterprise boundaries is authentic, it is a cause of concern. It is also a concern because even today different components of an entity or an enterprise have no knowledge or intelligence about the available data across its corporate boundaries.
