Intel Database. It is available by purchase order to Sayari Analytics, LLC. Sayari's Intelligence Database contains tens of thousands of previously-unidentified specific nodes, facilities and key people related to US sanctioned actors including

"2+3" threats to national security. The database provides publicly sourced identifying information to help disambiguate and resolve false positives, interactive profiles, and dynamic network charts. Profiles in Sayari's

Intelligence Database contain between 74% and 100% coverage of identifying information and are almost exclusively sourced to official public records. 97% of the profiles in Sayari's Intelligence Database do not appear in any commercially available risk database offerings. Sayari offers the information in one application. No other known commercial or government databases provide required data supplied by Sayari.

Data offered by Sayari Intelligence Database is a mission-essential functionality. Moreover, allows compatibility with other entities in ONI that use this database.
