Productivity, as you know, is very important in the aerospace industry. Companies want results and there is only one way to deliver: analyze as much data as possible to showcase possible short-term and long-term progress.
In the aerospace industry, time is money and Big Data can help companies keep track of their progress. Traditionally, the use of data has always existed in the aerospace industry. After all, you need a copious amount of data to correctly analyze and simulate a flight on simulators. From its very conception, the industry has made use of data to be able to perform. It’s not practical building an aircraft or rocket worth billions of dollars without having the data to support that what you’re doing will not have any long-term consequences. Because of this, it’s no surprise that the aerospace industry is making use of Big Data and related technologies. In fact, given the current industry climate, it was inevitable.
Nowadays, the vast majority of the threats to our security come from cyberspace, resulting in a significant transformation of national security systems. The The significance of technology and internet access for modern society cannot be understated. Current estimates assess between four and five billion global internet users are connecting one or more devices every day. The internet has also played an undeniably crucial role in enabling remote workforces worldwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, while the benefits are numerous, the interconnected nature of this medium, and its freedom cross international borders, has led many governments to establish military elements for the dual purpose of defending their national interests, as well as projecting power. In the last decade alone, military cyber units have evolved at a substantial rate, while cyberattacks attributed to advanced persistent threats have now become commonplace headlines in our daily news cycles. Annex Cyber is offering the capability to reduce national security risk by protecting critical infrastructure and data of people.
The intelligent operational command is a breakthrough in the traditional human-oriented combat decision-making method under the conditions of making full use of high-tech data such as big data, artificial intelligence, decision making and the use of intelligent command terminals, networks, and other information systems to bring technology to the battlefield. Detecting threats and planning future actions of combat by making sense of data is what military intelligence aims for using big data analysis. And the results are well defined and time-critical as the whole exercise may save a life or could be a matter of death at the war front or during a counter-terror strike. The question that gained importance is, "to what extent can Big Data Analysis be more readable in real-time"?, Annex Cyber is the answer to this question.
Utility and energy companies and standards organizations are taking extreme measures to protect critical infrastructure devices, SCADA networks, and critical application servers from threats. Mandates to improve critical infrastructure security have resulted in a significant number of government regulations.
Companies in these sectors are essential to national infrastructure, so they must be proactive in focusing on likely threats based on the combination of access risks, vulnerabilities, attack patterns and known exploits. While vulnerability and access risk management can help deter and detect breaches in computer network security, organizations in these industries need utility cybersecurity and network device security for power and electrical systems. Annex Cyber can help by reducing the threat surface, monitoring critical devices for infections, reducing IT costs and easily maintaining compliance.
The energy and utility industry typically comprises of power plants generating electricity that is transmitted over long-distance transmission lines and then finally provided over distribution lines to residences and businesses. The energy and utility industry is undergoing a large-scale transformation through technologies such as predictive analysis.
Grids are getting smarter by the day with the help of predictive analysis. Electric power sources are getting cleaner and customers have more than one option for their source of power.
One of the technological drivers that have impacted this is the emergence of Big Data and analytics which plays a pivotal role in the industry.
Energy and utility organizations apply smart technology to their landscape, including sensors, cloud computing technologies, wireless, power planning, and network communication.
These produce large data sets on a continuous basis which gets collected over a period of time.
For example, a utility company, using smart meters and power can collect around three petabytes of data every 15 minutes a year for over a million households.
If we start expanding intelligent devices like sensors and thermostats, large-volume data sets will be generated across power generation from transmission, distribution and to consumers via substations. Businesses across the utility industry have been facing a lot of challenges to draw insights out of this valuable data and conduct power planning, thats where Annex Cyber comes into the picture, to allow data to tell a story.
Financial institutions are prime targets for cyberattacks. Banks are where the money is, and for cybercriminals, attacking banks offers multiple avenues for-profit through extortion, theft, and fraud while nation-states and hacktivists also target the financial sector for political and ideological leverage.
Regulators are taking notice and implementing new controls for cyber risk to address the growing threat to the banks they supervise. As Annex Cyber we are the first line of defense.
The Banking and Financial Services Industry (BFSI) has seen a lot of change in the past few years. Increased regulatory scrutiny combined with higher customer expectations have posed stricter challenges to these companies. To deliver on these fronts, companies have to improve efficiencies, detect fraud and manage risks. To achieve this, banking and financial services companies are embracing big data technologies to deliver better services, comply with regulatory norms and improve customer satisfaction. These companies collect a lot of data through market feeds, consumer transactions, account records and social media. Using insights generated from these large volumes of structured and unstructured data, they can learn more about their consumers and use it to have a competitive edge over other companies in this space.
Cybercrime poses a significant risk to organizations across the public sector. Whether it is a disruption to critical infrastructure or the loss of confidential information, the consequences of a cyber-attack are severe for government organizations and people who rely on them. As a public sector professional within a government department, agency or council, it is vital to take proactive steps to protect against the potential damage cyberattacks could cause.
Ask a child what they want to do for a living and the answer typically falls into two categories: Something incredibly exciting and that helps others (doctor, police officer or teacher). No child says that they simply want a paycheck. As adults, people work for a variety of reasons – a paycheck chief among them – but many government employees have deeper motivations. Government work offers a chance to help the public or providing services that add a real benefit to the lives of citizens. A lot of this public-sector work is being accomplished using big data and analytics. Why? Because using analytics can improve outcomes of public programs.
Big data and analytics provide a tremendous benefit to the public sector. Moreover, analytics improve outcomes that have a direct impact on citizens. Whether it’s a fight against a nationwide drug issue, response to a local disaster, protection against the loss of sensitive information or intellectual property, or simply making government more efficient, the analytical insights you can gain from your stores of big data make a difference.
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most critical, with people across the globe relying on it for their daily medications. Pharmaceutical organizations hold data worth billions of dollars, including classified intellectual property (IP), R&D data on pharmaceutical advances and technologies, proprietary information on drugs and development, and patient and clinical trials data – making them an attractive target for cybercriminals.
The sector’s growing reliance on third-party supply chains, accelerating use of the cloud leading to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, increasing adoption of IoT, and increased visibility due to COVID-19 vaccine development have all contributed to a surge in cybersecurity risks for this sector.
Annex Cyber's continuous monitoring can help to address these cybersecurity challenges, as well as offer the pharmaceutical industry powerful protection against ransomware, insider and other threats.
We have long been in an age where there is too much information for one single person to analyze. What we now call “Big data”- consisting of greater volumes, variety, and velocity of data than ever before, is really just more data. With big data analytics, we now have the ability to process and make sense of that data, thus providing great opportunities for every industry. Over the years, the demand for data has grown exponentially and rapid integration is now considered a business requirement. This is especially true for pharmaceutical companies as they have always relied on empirical data to identify patterns, test theories, and understand the efficacy of treatments. the pharmaceutical industry is also evolving with the increasing utilization of big data. The emergence of big data in the pharmaceutical industry is helping in streamlining multiple complicated business procedures and improving efficiency across the board.
Cybercrime is one of the biggest threats that insurance companies will face, particularly as distributed workforces became the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, cybersecurity threats faced by insurance companies have been growing and evolving at an alarming rate. This has been spurred by many factors, including the internet of things (IoT). While the IoT presents opportunities for insurers, it also exposes security gaps. The severity and frequency of cyber-attacks are likely to increase.Insurers must commit to protecting sensitive customer information in a compliant and reliable way. The cybersecurity threat is huge. It is time for insurance companies to reboot their approaches to cybersecurity.
The application of big data in the insurance industry is swelling from waves of vehicle telematics, consumer POS transactions, and mobile interaction data. This new era of data analytics in the insurance industry promises new insights to better acquire customers, underwrite risk, fight fraud and settle claims. When insurance providers tap into the vast repositories of Big Data that is available to them and combine this data with machine learning and AI capabilities, they can develop new policies that can reach new audiences, Annex Cyber is here to help insurance companies embrace 4th industrial tech.
Telecom operators face a variety of security-related vulnerabilities stemming from the overall complexity of their infrastructure, supply chain problems, network misconfigurations, and privacy concerns. To prevent expensive downtime, interrupted service, and stolen data, carriers should identify and address potential network infrastructure vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.
Gaining visibility of issues and threats as they occur and having sufficient information and context to troubleshoot, investigate and resolve them plays a major part in meeting security service management objectives. With massive connectivity and ubiquitous Internet access comes risk, and these risks must be understood and controlled that's where Annex Cyber comes in.
The rise of smartphones and other mobile devices has increased the volume of data flowing through telecom operators’ networks. It is necessary that the telecom companies process, store, and extract insights from the data available. Big Data analytics can help them increase effectiveness by optimizing the network, enhancing customer experience, and improving security. So, Big data analytics can help CSPs and telecom industries to improve profitability. It can be enhanced by optimizing network services, enhancing customer experience, and providing security. Big data also provides the telecommunications industry with access to new opportunities. It can improve the quality of service and routing traffic more effectively. By analyzing call data records in real-time, tele companies can also identify fraudulent behavior and act on them immediately. This ultimately gives them a competitive advantage in the market and helps uncover hidden potential.
The construction and engineering industry’s contributions across multiple industries, such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, aerospace, and defense, will likely continue to make the sector a high-profile target for state-sponsored threat actors engaged in cyber espionage. We expect that increasing urbanization and infrastructure investment in the developing world will also contribute to greater targeting towards these industries, as sponsoring governments seek to obtain information that would facilitate their efforts and assist in cutting costs. We frequently observe state-sponsored threat actors steal victim companies’ intellectual property and business intelligence that could provide their indigenous companies with a future competitive advantage, such as using or marketing breakthrough materials to build more efficiently. But we are here to give our clients peace of mind.
Big data has become a big deal in other industries. In architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), big data is still in its infancy, yet it is already impacting how we design and construct buildings. At a time when everyone is looking for ways to do more with less, big data in construction offers a way to improve existing processes and make informed decisions about future projects. The construction industry produces vast amounts of data every day. As the industry expands, huge data repositories continue to fill with information on everything from blueprints and building models to communications and cost estimates. Unfortunately, these repositories are often unstructured and difficult to access without the right tools. That’s why technology created to harness big data in construction is so important and Annex Cyber can make it possible.
Over the past decade, the cyber threat to the healthcare industry has increased dramatically, along with the sophistication of cyberattacks. Industry and government both recognize this new era. For each improvement delivered by automation, interoperability, and data analytics, the vulnerability to malicious cyberattacks increases as well.
Cyberattacks are of particular concern for the health sector because attacks can directly threaten not just the security of systems and information but also the health and safety of patients. But we are here to protect the whole healthcare industry
The healthcare industry has come a long way to reach the point where it is right now - telemedicine, medical imaging, electronic health records, robots, and more. All this has become possible with the help of technology. And big data is one of those disruptors that have revolutionized the healthcare industry. Big data in the healthcare industry help save lives, decrease costs, and improve the efficiency of operations.
While financial institutions, medical facilities, and even retail chains have been forced to face the dangers of cyber threats, manufacturing companies spent most of the last decade blissfully unaware of the likelihood of attack. The reasons for this were mostly two-fold. First, the very real lack of connection between manufacturing companies and the outside world created a comfortable barrier between cyberattacks and manufacturing companies. Second, manufacturing companies mistakenly believed they didn't have much to offer cyber attackers.
If manufacturing companies were comfortable with the idea that they were safe from cyberattacks, this notion is quickly being erased. The mistaken idea that manufacturing companies had little to offer was mostly baseless. While manufacturing companies aren't in charge of large amounts of money or potentially risky financial transactions, they harbor a wealth of information that hackers can use to extort millions. Cybersecurity in the manufacturing industry is essential, and it should be utilized sooner rather than later. With Annex Cyber we can give you a fighting chance.
In the data-driven economy, turning data into actionable analytics is the best way to boost efficiency, quality, and productivity. That's as true on the shop floor as anywhere else – and maybe more so. Manufacturers of all types of products are integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology and operationalizing the resulting streaming data to improve industrial processes.
Media content is being created and consumed at a pace the entertainment industry has never seen before. From TV and film to online streaming services like Netflix and Amazon or on social media, media brands are using modern technologies to create and distribute their projects. This opened the eyes of industry players to the threat that cybercriminals pose for their businesses. Keeping high-value assets safe – whether in the cloud or on business premises – is top of the agenda for many media and entertainment executives. This primarily relates to pre-release content. But it can also be to do with a company’s ability to broadcast, their IT & network infrastructure and user account & payment data. Security must play a key role in helping to create the next program or movie and to safeguard this production environment and Annex Cyber is here to safeguard it.
Media and entertainment has become an integrated part of the lives of people, meaning that people nowadays are very enthusiastic about trying new content in terms of watching it and choosing it. Gone are the single-channel days of no choice and no integration and consultation to viewers. But now these dynamics are changing, there are millions of watching options to choose from and they are also available to be streamed across various devices and are really getting user friendly. It will not be wrong to say that Big Data, which is a combination of real time data, network data, time series data etc, has played a crucial role in the evolution and success ful outcome of such ideas and options in the media and entertainment sector. Big data is helping from a very distant corner but its impact can be particularly seen and realized in the sector, this is the sole insight into the customer (who are viewers here) behaviour by analyzing various consumer data available across and as a product of various platforms.
Global logistics make the economy work. Cargo ships sail the open seas with thousands of shipping containers. Warehouses full of goods stand ready for incoming and outgoing shipments. Consumers expect lightning-fast delivery and convenience. There must be an efficient transfer of information for this orchestra to work. Forwarders need to know when their goods are coming to port from the warehouse. Warehouse managers need to keep accurate inventory counts. Supply chain information is transferred through IT networks. These IT networks are vulnerable to attack.
Each link in the supply chain involves trust. You trust that the person you are delivering the goods is honest and will pay what is owed. That trust can be used by hackers to inflict harm. The methods used by threat actors vary, but the result is lost money, data, or time. Companies that support supply chain transactions can take steps to prevent attacks. Patching systems can prevent hackers from targeting known vulnerabilities. Networks can be monitored for suspicious activity. Web-based tracking systems can be protected with firewalls.
The biggest issue in the transportation industry today is the constant lack of time. As freight transport demands increase, transportation companies need solutions to manage logistics and supply chain operations more effectively. In the process of searching for these solutions an emerging number of companies are embracing the opportunities that big data provides. The practice of using big data includes collecting relevant electronic information from various sources in a very short amount of time. The gathered data is then used for analysis meant to identify patterns that can help the company to predict some future events. This practice brings lots of advantages to the transportation industry. Before the use of big data, transportation and logistics management companies used data warehouses and business intelligence tools. It helped them to optimize operations, report and analyze customer behavior, and build advanced routing solutions. Now, big data helps companies to achieve even greater benefits in these areas.
