Alqimi: Discarding Uncertainty through Insights and Ensuring Security
One of the critical management issues for today’s enterprises is protection of valuable intellectual property and business information in digital form against theft and misuse. Companies are looking to fend off the perpetration of cyberattacks by cybercriminals and revealing of sensitive information by employees. However, even though existing systems manage risks of employee-generated fraud to some degree, they lack the mechanisms to discover exposure from outside the organization. Additionally, such systems are cumbersome, inflexible and typically designed for significant financial institutions, thus rarely being compatible to other business environments. Alqimi Group, headquartered in Washington DC, US with its Indian office at Gurgaon, addresses this issue by providing investigative tools that help businesses detect current threats and prevent future ones. The company offers a Social Intelligence Fusion Kit (SIFT) and Data Integration Platform (DIP) to continually patrol the data and the digital world, providing businesses and Government with the ability to visualize data within the web graphical user interface or to export the data for further analysis.Alqimi is at the forefront of cyber warfare in cyber operations and exploitation with its experts possessing more than 15 years of relevant experience of providing security solutions to government and commercial clients. “Our experts are certified in providing the best cybersecurity capabilities available in the industry, safeguarding enterprise-scale data, information systems, and networks,” says Nitin Kalra, India Country Manager for Alqimi Group.

Alqimi follows a unique approach which addresses Computer Network Operations (CNO) including: Computer Network Attack (CNA), Computer Network Defense (CND) and related Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) to enable analytical awareness, assess remediation approaches and address vulnerabilities as well as risk management. The company leverages the U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) special publications series (800) for information technology and maintains a comprehensive knowledge base that has been established with an understanding of research plans for information systems cybersecurity threats. Alqimi also adopts relevant technology for applied research to address the evolving threat environment.
Flexible and Comprehensive Assessment
Alqimi’s powerful social media and open source data collector – SIFT enables retrieval of live data ingest and historical data for example enterprise databases based on structured Boolean searches which are entered by the user, filtering results, cross-comparing large data sets, RSS feeds, and visualizing the outputs. The SIFT is able to collect and/or process analyst specific data sets. It then pre-processes the data on the back-end and prepares data for on-demand visualization. The kitcollates and visualizes data in unique, expansive, on-the-fly, and interactive visualizations views designed to enhance the analyst’s capabilities in sifting through large volumes of data while simultaneously automating data for enhancing the user experience. In addition, the tool has the ability to work with other enterprise tools and capabilities to allow analysts to exploit and visualize data as well as collaborate to refine discovery, access, exploitation, analysis, and reporting to enhance productivity and improve mission performance.
To determine areas where additional or in-depth security vulnerabilities examination is appropriate, Alqimi assesses the security profiles. The health-check identifies security gaps and defines a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) to correct and mitigate risks including priority recommendations and a process to track the resolution of action items. “Our security health check also provides a roadmap for long-term strategic focus activities to continuously improve security posture to help ensure that adequate controls are in place to address business risks and security processes as well as keep pace with trends,” adds Nitin.
When it comes to Identity and Access Management, ALQIMI help customers implement the latest generation of identity management methods and technology to improve security and limit information access to what a user needs to view, change or delete. The company has practical implementation success experience using all major Identity and Access Management (IdAM) software to include but not limited to Microsoft Active Directory, NetIQ Identity Manager, Oracle, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) IdM. With the increasing criticality of device and applications development and management, knowledge of relevant devices and system security options is a rising concern. Alqimi assures that the appropriate protection levels are in place and monitored, by providing device management and BYOD security integration solutions. The company also indulges into applications and storefront solutions development and integration.
Cyber security solutions are becoming essential to combat the advanced and sophisticated threats. To counter the threats that may cause loss of intellectual and financial assets, cloud service providers and market segments such as energy, oil and gas, as well as education are expected to adopt solutions for cyber security. “Our plan is to maintain our leadership position in this space and introduce our proven approach in the global market place,” envisages Nitin.
