The Problem This Solution Solves
The U.S. defense industrial base is a large, complex, and geographically-dispersed network of interconnected stakeholders, suppliers, and activities. Threats to this industrial base, particularly in regards to critical technologies, are significant and actively evolving. For example, reliance on foreign-owned or -controlled hardware, software, or services introduces opportunities for exploitation of a product’s integrity, trustworthiness, and authenticity. Past incidents with manufacturers and their supply chains highlight the difficulties of ensuring availability or identifying the source, authenticity, quality, and security of critical assets used by the DoD.
The Solution
Altana’s supply chain visibility platform, the Altana Atlas, applies artificial intelligence (AI) to vast quantities of commercially and publicly available data to create a detailed, multi-tier, searchable map of the global supply chain for physical goods. Altana’s solution helps to identify, track, and counter threats to the defense industrial base, particularly in regards to critical technologies with links to foreign-owned or -controlled hardware, software, or services.
