It is a challenge for most technology companies to give a three-word summary of what they do, especially with the complexity implied with the phrase “entity resolution.” The CEO of Senzing, Jeff Jonas, gives a three-word summary of the complex issues they manage — “bad guy hunting.”
OK, what does this mean to federal tech leaders?
Today, we sit down with Will Layton to learn how a topic like “entity resolution” describe these use cases.
During the interview, he gives an overview of how federal systems have evolved over the years and the need to understand the implications of automation.
We know federal systems are, in general, moving to the cloud. This may be a private cloud, a public cloud, or even a hybrid cloud. Second, data ingestion has overwhelmed most agencies.
As a result, many large-scale organizations are implementing automated tools, some call “agents” to become more efficient.
Will Layton describes how humans need to be identified an automated tool, or entities, need to establish credentials as well.
When a malicious actor tries to present like an entity in a complex automated system, Senzing can identify it and save federal leaders from unwanted actions.
