Reduce financial fraud

Reduce fraud by using AI-driven algorithms to monitor transactions in real time and flag suspicious activities instantly.

Accelerate detection and response

Quickly detect security incidents and financial crime by using AI to analyze patterns in customer behavior and transaction history.

Improve reporting efficiency

Reduce the manual workload of reporting by leveraging AI to automate compliance reports and the filing of suspicious activity reports (SARs).

Support compliance reporting

AI can help ensure timely and accurate reporting to regulatory bodies by generating and prioritizing SARs based on the severity and likelihood of money laundering activities.

Evaluate high-risk customers

Better detect and document high-risk customers by using AI to analyze multiple data points—such as transaction history, geographical location, and behavior patterns.

Monitor money laundering risk

AI can monitor transactions continuously so that patterns indicative of money laundering can be identified and flagged.

Increase customer engagement

Analyze past buying behaviors, current buying trends, and seasonality to promote relevant offers that engage customers.

Drive customer satisfaction

Continuously monitor application and infrastructure performance to find and resolve issues before they impact the user experience.

Reduce human error

Automate the detection of issues and provide real-time resolution, which minimizes downtime and ensures that digital services are always reliable and secure.

Improve quality control

AI-driven analytics help ensure product quality by detecting and correcting deviations in real time.

Real-time production management

Better predict maintenance needs, reduce downtime, and prevent production disruptions with AI.

Enhanced cybersecurity visibility

Increase asset visibility for improved cybersecurity postures and incident response.

Improve inventory assurance

Predictive inventory planning to better maintain supplies and serve customers.

Enhance service efficiency

Reduce wait times and increase throughput by predicting and preparing for in-demand products.

Improve labor productivity

AI can help maintain critical network connectivity, which is key to supporting productivity.

Reduce time to locate assets

Use AI to track tools and work in-progress plus personnel status, location, and condition.

Improve asset utilization and equipment performance

Set notifications and physical alarms to be triggered and broadcast when assets or machines deviate from preferred settings.

Increase plant-wide productivity and uptime

Enhance efficiency with predictive maintenance, computer vision analysis, and process optimization powered by AI.

Secure government and mission-critical information

Ensure secure and reliable access to mission-critical resources for users, devices, network, data, and applications or workloads. AI enhances security by verifying trust, identifying weaknesses, and blocking edge attacks through zero-trust policies.

Strengthen defenses

Continuously verify trust with AI through behavior monitoring, vulnerability identification, and threat indicators of compromise to help prevent edge attacks with tailored, proactive, zero-trust policy enforcement that keeps agency data safe and systems running smoothly.

Maintain service despite potential threats

Enhanced operational resiliency can help continue mission-critical operations even during potential threats. AI-powered dynamic, global threat feeds can provide automatic defense updates and awareness that allow governments to take defensive measures.

Improve resident experience through self-service options

Enhance resident engagement, streamline operations, tailor service delivery, and offer instant assistance for common inquiries with AI-driven chatbots, freeing up human resources for more complex issues.

Provide anytime, anywhere innovation

Enable residents to avoid in-person visits to government offices by offering convenient access to services and information anytime and anywhere.

Increase operational efficiencies

Optimize resource allocation and automate repetitive administrative tasks with AI, ensuring efficient, cost-effective government services and improved accuracy for residents.

Advance security for resident information

Leverage AI-powered security to strengthen the reliability, resilience, and safeguarding of critical communication networks, ensuring seamless support for first responders and essential services.

Improve asset utilization and equipment performance

Enhance secure collaboration and communication across multiple agencies by leveraging AI to verify trust, identify weaknesses, and block edge attacks through zero-trust policies.

Improve clinical workflows and staff productivity

Analyze patient data with AI to drive more informed care decisions.

Enhance patient experience

Accelerate patient interactions through workflow automations. AI-enhanced tools can check the availability of healthcare providers and suggest optimal slots based on both the provider's and patient's schedules.

Improve patient satisfaction

Strengthen connections with patients by facilitating secure communication in their channel of choice–chat, phone, or email.

Deliver critical operations

AI helps deliver continuous, reliable, and secure connectivity to clinical applications, medical devices, and telehealth applications.

Better protect patient data

Help ensure that patient data remains secure across both cloud and on-premises environments and enable healthcare organizations to meet their compliance requirements.

Reduce shrink caused by theft and fraud

AI can correlate and reconcile POS transaction logs and video data to identify under-scanning, label switching, and other tactics.

Lower labor costs associated with loss investigations

Enable risk-based alerting and data correlations across omnichannel services by using AI to detect and respond to fraudulent activities.

Improve inventory accuracy and control

Leverage up-to-date stock information and sales trends to improve order and inventory accuracy.

Keep tight access control

Help ensure that access controls are in place and properly configured to meet corporate polices and local regulations for surveillance assets, transaction data, and customer data.

Reduce safety issues

Ensure a safe environment by using wireless and AI analytics to monitor customer and associate locations, detect unsafe actions, and alert appropriate parties.

Enhance operations

Deploy AI-enhanced applications to automate inventory management, optimize supply chain logistics, and enhance in-store operations.

Increase conversion rates and basket size

Use AI to develop personalized offers, display marketing content, and drive dynamic pricing on in-store, network-connected displays.

Improve effectiveness

Leverage AI-based video analytics to monitor digital media players, content distribution, and video technology to proactively detect and resolve campaign and network performance issues.

Increase revenue

Target customers for promotions and deliver content based on previous buying behavior, trending analysis, location in store, and activity.
