Relationships

Relationships are links between two or more entities. Relationships are detected at the end of entity resolution process, when two entities share several data attribute values.

Relationships can be based on links discovered by the system, disclosed by an analyst, or both. However, not every relationship is interesting enough to warrant generating an alert for further analysis or investigation. You define relationships of interest by configuring role alert rules that specify which combination of roles assigned to entities need to generate alerts.

Relationship examples

Examples of relationships that might be detected during entity resolution:
  • A customer is also a vendor. Based on the policies and procedures of your organization, this might be considered a relationship of interest.
  • An employee knows a customer. Unless the policies and procedures of your organization forbid such an association, or perhaps depending on the data that is shared by the employee and the customer, this might not be considered a relationship of interest.
  • A customer knows another customer. If one of the customers has a high net worth to your company, knowing whom your customer knows might be a good way to use your customer network to market within that network.
