Inteltrax: Top Stories, August 8 to August 12, 2011

August 15, 2011

Inteltrax, the data fusion and business intelligence information service, captured three key stories germane to search this week, specifically how the legal world is impacted by data analytics.

One of our most popular entries this week was “Legal Marketplace Filled with Analytic Options.” This was a quick look at all the data mining tools available to lawyers.

Another hot topic was our article, “Zettaset and Others Cashing in on Forensics.” Proving forensic science has been aided undoubtedly by predictive analytics in ways CSI could only dream of.

In addition, our story, “Facial Recognition a Boon for Facebook and a Threat for SSNs” detailed how legal tools, like facial recognition software, can backfire, causing a serious breach in security.

For the most part, we feel the legal world is aided in amazing ways by big data management systems. From the courtroom to the police station, people are utilizing these tools. But with any strong advance in technology, there is always a risk of misuse. We’ll be following these trends and others to watch this fascinating corner of the industry unfold.
