Improve the Investigative Process with Open-Source Intelligence
Since OSINT involves surface, deep and dark web data, analysts cannot manually relate data from all web layers without investing countless hours. When minutes count in an investigation, analysts need automated tools to scour all layers of the web, piecing together seemingly unrelated data to find a missing link in a case. Automated tools that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) are the force multiplier that intelligence analysts need to safely access all layers of the web and quickly develop actionable leads.
Streamline Intelligence Analysis
By using an automated AI-Powered OSINT platform, intelligence analysts can make connections quickly between unrelated data sources online, providing real-time alerts to:
- Detect online threats to keep police and the public safe
- Make connections between people and groups for faster and more accurate analysis between events and threat actors
- Understand criminal enterprises and their online activities by connecting people, places, and things virtually
Tangles, our open-source intelligence platform, is used in various situations for law enforcement, public safety, and government entities to quickly identify and analyze potential criminal activity. These include:
- Crime investigation

Identifying Members of Criminal Networks
Criminal networks and terrorist organizations not only remain active, but it becomes harder and harder to identify their members and detect threat patterns for crime prevention.

Drug Trafficking Investigation
The increasing use of social media platforms, mobile apps and dark web sources have led to significant growth of illegal activities online. Platforms are used by criminals, terrorists, hackers and others exploiting easy access to the internet, conducting operations with minimal visibility.

WEBINT for Gang Investigations
Today’s gangs are known to be highly organized, similar to the way American Mafia families from the 1930s were organized and operated, which makes it hard to identify the various members and their connections.
