Business Wire
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) announced today that the
Department of Homeland Security renewed its contract to support
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) with Investigative Case
Management (ICM) software. The contract is worth $95.9M over a
five-year period.
Since 2011, Palantir has partnered with HSI to advance its
mission of investigating and preventing transnational crime and
high-level threats that exploit international trade, travel, and
financial infrastructure. HSI’s core mission includes combating
human trafficking and child exploitation, dismantling international
drug trafficking organizations, disrupting cyber criminals,
preventing identify and benefit fraud, and the investigation of
international war crimes.
Investigative Case Management (ICM) is HSI’s System of Record
across all HSI investigative cases and is used by HSI Special
Agents, Criminal Analysts, and support personnel located in 225
cities across the nation and in embassies around the globe. In
accordance with HSI's enforcement authorities, ICM users document
investigative activities leading up to the prosecution of criminal
parties. HSI selected Palantir’s software for speed of delivery as
well as the platform’s leading edge access controls and data
protections to enforce critical security and privacy standards.
For example, the HSI team has used ICM to support the
enforcement of sanctions on Russian oligarchs, the arrest of
foreign mercenaries for the assassination of the former President
of Haiti, and the arrest of key cartel leaders. Last year, HSI’s
impact included 34,974 criminal arrests; seizure of 14,530 pounds
of Fentanyl and $822 million worth of counterfeit and illicit
goods; and the rescue or identification of 1,177 child exploitation
victims.
“Every single day, HSI personnel use Palantir's software to
execute their mission of investigating and disrupting major
criminal networks that threaten our national security and undermine
our critical infrastructure,” said Akash Jain, President of
Palantir USG. “The positive impact of this work is real and
Palantir's software plays a critical role in making it possible. We
remain firmly committed to HSI's mission and the Special Agents and
Analysts driving this impact day in and out.”
