Enline



Since 1985 Enline plc has provided trusted advice to customers across all sectors. Today our areas of focus continue to build upon the needs of our customers and helping them to address the challenges and opportunities they face.

Enline plc has proven experience in delivering best of breed Identity and Access Management and Provisioning solutions that address organisations' needs to securely manage user life cycles. In a criminal justice environment this approach enables organisations to maximise their premium on intelligence, expertise and smart use of capacity.

New ways of working have been identified within the Public and Private Sector that recognise the need to balance “corporate” intelligence/information Assurance with the clear benefits of sharing. Our work in law enforcement has been driven through an OJEU procurement Framework Agreement to provide Identity and Access management to all UK Police Organisations. This has resulted in us in providing the access control infrastructure for many national and regional information and intelligence sharing projects.

Much of the work undertaken by Enline plc utilises products from Computer Associates specifically:

• eTrust™ Identity and Access Management solution helps organisations to align their security management strategy with its business goals by: automatically managing who has access to which resources and services within their environment and across organisational boundaries; logging and reporting what they have done; and enforcing business, privacy and security policies.
• eTrust™ Network Forensics captures raw network data and uses advanced forensics analysis to identify how business assets are affected by network exploits, internal data theft, and security or HR policy violations. Its patented technology allows IT and security staff to visualise network activity, uncover anomalous traffic and investigate breaches with a single, convenient solution.

Memex



Memex has been providing solutions to the intelligence community worldwide for over 25 years. We believe that entire data systems should be searchable, and not just serve as a field-based intelligence store. Our software renders all data contained within your existing systems fully searchable, from a single application. In addition to this, the Memex solution also includes data mining and analytical tools to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of all your users.

Memex also recognises that data input standards vary from organisation to organisation, and typically range from ‘very poor’ to ‘merely adequate’. This further restricts your organisations ability to provide accurate, timely results. We have long experience working with leading intelligence agencies including the Metropolitan Police Service and British Transport Police developing a range of tools to help analysts identify every possible combination that might return positive hits. We’ve designed these tools with speed, accuracy and simplicity in mind.

We don’t claim to have a “whodunit” button because people cannot be replaced by systems, but our tools will save your organisation time by highlighting potentially suspicious people and events that are hidden within your existing systems right now. This allows you to allocate resources for further investigation of leads more efficiently.

One of the problems you might encounter by having access to the vast amounts of data held in your existing systems is information overload. Memex can help you overcome this by providing automated tools that run pre-set queries in the background at scheduled intervals against a set of existing databases. The results from the initial batch of searches are then cross-referenced against other databases, and the final results are pro-actively supplied to analysts for further research and investigation. This alleviates the problem of missing vital pieces of intelligence hidden in your IT systems, which in turn reduces your risk of exposure.
