In the 2000’s during the middle of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, the concept for IKANOW was formed around the following questions:
IKANOW, meaning qualified, was crafted around these core questions. We have since grown, and have created additional cyber threat intelligence, risk management, and SIEM tools, but our focus has not changed.
To empower people to make meaningful decisions from from the various data sources available today.
The concept behind IKANOW is to democratize analysis which leads to businesses making better informed decisions.
We believe every organization starts with shared values. Values are what shape everything you do and every decision you make. At IKANOW, we take these items extremely seriously:
IKANOW is committed and passionate about open source. We believe that businesses and individuals today have much to gain, learn, and share by utilizing and contributing to the wonderful reference architectures and products being produced in the open source community. We feel it is our role to give back and share knowledge. Our development mantra is always releasing early and often.
Our commitment will always be that our core platform and code remain open source, even if in the future we build certain applications or tools only for paying customers.
IKANOW Community Edition is the world’s first Open Source Software Analytics platform.
We utilize production proven OSS projects like Lucene, elasticsearch, Hadoop, MongoDB, and Tomcat and fuse them together in a logical way for analysis so you don’t have to.
Our goal is to make it easier for businesses to realize near immediate analytical value.
We are dedicated to continuing to innovate and extend the current and future generations of the IKANOW platform, as well as to continue to enable business value for our customers.
We will always work closely with the community and continue to deliver an array of analytical and software solutions focused on helping others make more effective analytical decisions.
