Take a journey through 2021 in this three-part reflection series written by a variety of VIA’s leaders. Part 1 written by Kate Ravanis will highlight our team, the VIAneers.
Let’s TAC™ About It: The Value of TAC™
In this post, we cover the three big benefits when choosing TAC™ over the "next best alternative".
Let’s TAC™ About It: TAC™: So, what’s it good for?
VIA has announced nine new features on TAC™ in the past 14 weeks. How are utilities using them? For starters, they are increasing clean energy adoption.
TAC™ White Paper Release: Balancing Data Owner Protection and Analyst Flexibility
VIA has released a new 10-page white paper that provides a comprehensive overview and code examples of TAC™’s current data privacy and security features.
Reversing the Curse: The 80 / 20 Split In AI Projects
Most AI projects spend 80% of time cleaning data and only 20% analyzing it. VIA has been investing heavily in using our own AI and software development skills to reverse this ratio.
Let’s TAC™ About It: Verified Templates: Balancing Security and Flexibility
For the tenth installment of the series, we will discuss how TAC™ contracts can control what kinds of queries an authorized analyst can ask of the data.
Let’s TAC™ About It: What's a Smart Contract?
For the ninth installment of the series, we will discuss how TAC™ uses smart contracts to govern data and analysis workflows.
Let’s TAC™ About It: 15/15
15/15 is a specific example of the k-anonymity privacy-preserving analytics feature that VIA recently released.
Let’s TAC™ About It: Ease of Use Upgrade
The latest release of VIA’s TAC™ platform is a leap forward in terms of simplicity and ease of use for users performing analysis on private data.
How VIA TAC™-kles Sensor Data
Many utilities are concerned about the responsibility that comes with sensor datasets. As a result, the data gets trapped. VIA’s software platform, TAC™ was designed to address these issues in power sector data.
Let’s TAC™ About It: Homomorphic Encryption Algorithms on TAC™ (HEAT)
VIA has implemented homomorphic encryption (HE), which is cryptography that holds the promise of allowing computations on data while it remains encrypted.
Let’s TAC™ About It: K-Anonymity
VIA has implemented a k-anonymity function to help utilities meet requirements of regulators including releasing data for clean energy initiatives and mandating increased information privacy and security requirements.
Let’s TAC™ About It: Digital Watermarking
Watermarking is a simple and automatic method to provide auditability to data.
Introducing SWEET: AI for Data Wrangling
SWEET stands for Smart Wrangling Engine for Extraction and Transformation. SWEET, a built-in function on VIA's TAC™ platform, uses AI to wrangle data.
