United Kingdom Government agencies and departments are facing new challenges in areas such as biosurveillance, integrated criminal justice, air security analysis, fraud detection, IT security intelligence and others. To address these issues effectively, departments and agencies are under increasing pressure to share data and collaborate within and across organisations.

As the leader in producing intelligence from large volumes of raw data, SAS is uniquely positioned to provide government agencies with the information they need to share data effectively and to ensure coordinated security efforts.

Designed to integrate and augment an organisation's security architecture, SAS helps government agencies collect and analyse data from anywhere in the organisation for reliable discovery, prediction and forecasting of security-related issues. Advanced analytics ensure the ability to discover, predict and forecast - so agencies can respond appropriately.

SAS Security Management for the UK Government consists of any combination of the following:

• SAS Security Data Sharing and Integration: Many agencies and departments have independent systems and channels that may not be integrated. By extracting data from these disparate systems, ensuring the data is clean and reliable, and pulling it into a common repository or reporting system, organisations can ensure the sharing of accurate data among departments for coordinated security efforts.
• Security Management Analytics: Through the use of event correlation, clustering, association analysis and other data mining techniques, anomalies and patterns are discovered. Advanced analytical techniques allow creation, implementation and tracking of key indicators that pinpoint patterns as well as the causes and effects of criminal and fraudulent activity.
• SAS Strategic Performance Management: Strategic Performance Management assists government agencies in developing a clear mission, strategy, and set of performance measures for their security initiatives. Agencies can manage integrated security themes across diverse organisational units and jurisdictions, balance multiple constituencies, and manage the transparency and communication of security performance to outside observers.

SAS is unmatched in its ability to turn operational data into intelligent insights for confident decision-making in coordinated security efforts. SAS has consistently led the industry in helping large organisations manage, analyse and deliver information, and we can do the same for you.
