by Shreyas on August 27, 2009

This video shows how Palantir Finance and Palantir Government can be used jointly as a cyber analysis platform to explore router data and uncover the activity of a bot net attack. Although Palantir Finance is a platform designed primarily for financial analysis, its ability to explore timeseries data in a generic way makes it an ideal environment for the cyber threat analyst.
