Request Technical Overview

An intelligence fabric built for interoperability and control

Arqent unifies the fragmented world of intelligence systems.
Each layer from acquisition to AI is modular, API-driven, and secured by a zero-trust service mesh.
Whether deployed in a classified environment or a cloud tenant, every component communicates through encrypted event streams with full observability.

Platform Layers

Acquisition

Collect data from open, deep, and dark web sources plus enterprise systems via Arqent Hub connectors.

Ingestion & Normalization

Event-driven pipelines transform and align data into Arqent’s ontology model.

Fusion & Indexing

Core services build relationships and vector indexes for semantic retrieval.

AI & Agents

Arqent AI orchestrates explainable agents that assist with analysis and decision support.

Visualization & Operations

Arqent OS presents live dashboards, alerts, and geospatial insights.

Security & Governance

mTLS mesh, JWT auth, audit trail, and continuous observability at every step.

End-to-End Flow

  • Source connectors handle CSV, SQL, S3/Blob, and APIs.
  • JetStream ensures durability and back-pressure control.
  • Ontology manager harmonizes schemas and fields.
  • Vector index enables semantic and contextual search.
  • AI agents interpret, summarize, and predict.
  • OS dashboards render operational awareness in real time.
