OBJECTIV ITY ’S PEDIGREE• Headquartered in Silicon Valley since 1988

• Pioneer in high-performance distributed object data technology

• Decades of experience in “beyond petabyte” data volumes

• Deep domain expertise in massively scalable graph analytics

• Software validated and proven by Global 1000 customers and partners

WHY GRAPH?• Use actual relationships in

addition to statistical correlation

• Ultra-fast navigation and path finding without joins

• Combine conventional and graph analytics to support advanced pattern finding

• In-Memory graph limited by RAM and machine

• Billions of nodes and edges require parallelism and a distributed graph

SCALING GRAPHS

F INANCIAL USE CASES

• Smart Trading (alpha generation, portfolio optimization)

• Regulation and Compliance (Know Your Customer)• Cybercrime Prevention and Detection (security

breaches)

• Uses: Alpha generation; portfolio optimization

• Data sources: Financial accounts, markets, sectors, exchanges, reference data, social media

• Opportunities: • Compare streaming data to

historical trends • Determine relationships

between transactions to forecast stock value

SMART TRADING

• Uses: Know Your Customer; detect insider trading and securities fraud

• Data sources: Financial accounts, emails, SMS, social media

• Opportunities: • Accurately understand risk• Prevent loss of revenue due

to rogue activities and fines

R E G U L AT I O N & C O M P L I A N C E

• Uses: Identify unusual patterns indicative of security breaches

• Data sources: Network logs (firewall, proxy, VPN, DNS), emails, HR data

• Opportunities: • Correlate data from security

and network solutions with internal and semantic web apps

• Be proactive, not reactive

C Y B E R C R I M E P R E V E N T I O N
