Planned availability date October 21, 2011: Electronic availability November 18, 2011: Media availability 211-396 IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1 offers an identity and social network analysis platform to help discover threats and fraud across large volumes of data in real time PDF At a glance IBM Identity Insight V8.1 offers a new user experience, better alert management, and web service integration among other new features. IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1, an agile and scalable solution for identity and social network analysis, delivers the following capabilities: Identity resolution: Enables you to identify people, organizations, or things, thereby adding to the organization's ability to determine "who is who?" Relationship resolution: Enables you to determine what relationships exist between people, organizations, or things, thereby adding to the organization's ability to determine "who knows who?" Complex event processing: Enables real-time transaction and event processing, as well as alerting capabilities, when a certain user-defined threshold or usage pattern is met, thereby adding to the organization's ability to determine "who does what?" For ordering, contact your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). Overview The IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight solution leverages identity and social network analysis to provide true insight for threat and fraud analysis. For data to be useful, it must be put into context. InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1 is a powerful identity and social network analysis platform that combines pioneering identity and relationship disambiguation technology with innovative event processing capabilities to quickly and automatically provide that context. By examining relevant individuals, their relationships and their actions, InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1 is designed to enable a comprehensive picture of who a person is, who the person knows, and what the person does. The first step is identity matching. Once InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1 determines that two or more identities are the same, it integrates the multiple records into a single entity and assigns a unique identifier. All of the data about the person or organization stays with this new identifier. The platform can even help you identify the source records that provide the original information. Next, the InfoSphere Identity Insight platform performs a thorough relationship network analysis. It uses the entity data generated during the previous step to learn whether people are, or ever have been, related in any way. InfoSphere Identity Insight V8.1 uses an advanced transaction analysis method called complex event processing to gain a clear picture of what entities and entity networks are doing based on transactional data. This process is designed to mine the overall information landscape in real time, bringing to light all of the associations and occurrences involving the same person or a group.
