Protecting our Homeland Security requires sharing information among diverse agencies and government contacts nationally and worldwide—whether in a major catastrophic event or in support of day-to-day operations.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the federal government employed data mining from Teradata to help detect and prevent future terrorist attacks. They knew they could count on Teradata's experience to build an information architecture that provides the maximum level of data integration from diverse sources, including FBI, CIA, NSA, FEMA, IRS, CDC, NMIC, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, National Guard, Customs, and state and local law enforcement. The result was the caliber of assisted predictive analysis that makes actionable conclusions available on a near-real-time basis when circumstances demand crucial decisions for detection, prevention, preparedness, protection, and response and recovery efforts to succeed.
