Air Force Office of Scientific Research-sponsored technology development has resulted in MultiView, software that helps enable US intelligence analysts to have secure access to data streams from multiple intelligence agencies on a single computer monitor, according to an AFOSR release. Previously, the analysts had to work with multiple computers, monitors, and keyboards to access this data, states the Sept. 3 release. Assured Information Security, a small-sized company in Rome, N.Y., created MultiView, which is now patent-pending, according to the release. MultiView is a component of the SecureView platform that makes possible the multiple intelligence feeds while maintaining the levels of security and isolation required for the data sources.
