DODIIS 2026: How OcientAIQ™ is solving petabyte-scale analytics for mission intelligence

In this talk, Ocient’s Tom Hofmann breaks down why traditional data infrastructure fails security teams and analysts when it counts most: during incident response, threat hunting, and long-term investigations.

Topics covered:

  • Why “searchable vs. retrievable” data matters — and why new federal guidance still isn’t enough
  • Real-world examples like Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon, nation-state actors that sat undetected in networks for years
  • How fragmented infrastructure turns incident response into a weeks-long puzzle
  • Why AI agents are pushing legacy data systems past their breaking point
  • How OcientAIQ’s Unified Data Platform delivers petabyte-scale answers in seconds — at full fidelity, with no sampling

If your team has ever had to rehydrate cold storage just to answer a commander’s question, this talk is for you.
