Best Weapon In Terror War? High Tech, Says NCR's Hurd.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(NATIONAL ISSUE)
Byline: PETER BENESH
The FBI was quick to identify the hijackers in the days after Sept. 11. The Immigration and Naturalization Service found out how they got into the country. But nobody had connected the dots before the fact.
The hijackers left a trail of data -- from student visas to car rentals to driver's licenses to routine traffic stops.
To track future terrorists, government agencies are starting to link their information in new ways. They're sharing data with other agencies, states, cities and even foreign governments.
The roadblock is that different databases, some dating back decades, can't communicate with each other.
The technology exists to do it, says Mark Hurd, president of Dayton, Ohio-based NCR Corp. and chief operating officer of its Teradata Division. NCR is one of several companies that has something like an off-the-shelf translator for incompatible databases.
Hurd spoke with IBD about his industry's part in the war on terror.
