In addition to informing users about current situations, Hyperion also offers forecasts so that organizations are not just reacting but proactively preparing to combat security issues.

A befitting illustration of GeoSpark Analytics' value proposition is its client/partnership with an international travel safety company. The client had several operation centers around the world to maintain travel safety, and analysts in these centers produced about 20 threat reports per day. In an attempt to improve their reporting efficiency, the client reached out to GeoSpark Analytics and requested a turnaround of 60-80 reports daily. "We entered into a pilot program with the travel safety company, and in just two months, the analysts were not only able to significantly improve their output but attained HyperionWith every new client we learn something different, and we take that back and roll it into our producta deeper understanding of security," reveals Balkissoon.

"With every new client we learn something different, and we take that back and roll it into our product. In the end, 80 percent of our solution is applicable to every kind of firm, and for the rest 20 percent we are open to customization," states Goolgasian.Given their strong customer-centric nature, the company is looking at expanding their solution through a mobile application to reach a wider client base. One area that GeoSpark Analytics is particularly focused on is fine-tuning their data models to understand the world even better as it evolves. "The time is now. Today, data is ubiquitous, ML is evolving, and we are packaging it all into an easily consumable product, and, more importantly, showcasing that at scale. As the only organization doing that, we are truly revolutionary," ends Balkissoon. ES
