World Wide Technology, one of the largest providers of technology services in the U.S., recently unveiled a new partnership with Dataminr, provider of an AI-powered, real-time event and risk alert platform.
The partnership's goal is to build an AI-driven, unified cyber-physical security platform, "powered by Dataminr's proprietary LLMs and WWT's distinguished architecture to implement at scale," according to a news release.
MES Computing spoke with WWT executive Chris Konrad, vice president of global cyber. Konrad leads a $4.5 billion global security organization within WWT's Global Solutions & Architecture division.
Konrad told MES Computing that the building of the platform was underway, and while there is no hard release date yet the first release may come early this summer.
He also spoke about the goals of the partnership.
Can you provide a bit of background on the partnership with Dataminr?
We're really excited about the partnership with Dataminr; they solve some very unique use cases that our customers are all very concerned about. There are roughly 3,500 active threat groups operating globally. Dataminr gives their customers an opportunity to provide, we'll call it 'real-time, multi-domain intelligence', that helps them respond. It helps them to detect and respond to not just digital but also physical, geopolitical threats before they impact our critical infrastructure.
