Intelligence Analysis
Improve the Investigative Process with Open-Source Intelligence
Intelligence analysis is crucial to the investigative process, ensuring that subjects of interest and potential groups of bad actors are identified and located quickly. The field of intelligence analysis continues to evolve with the addition of various data layers and types, making the discipline more complex than ever. In addition, the advancement of technology has allowed this field to make huge advancements over the last 20 years. Part of those advancements includes open-source intelligence or OSINT.
Integrate OSINT into Intelligence Analysis
With the explosion of apps and online communication, the open-source information generated from these platforms provides investigators and analysts with unprecedented insight into people, places, and entities. This view into daily online activity has become a force multiplier for intelligence analysts tasked with supporting investigations, community safety initiatives, and national security. One cannot understate the value of OSINT to public safety.
Agency personnel cannot manually analyze the volume of data generated from apps and websites, nor can it be mined safely without personal or agency exposure. With that complexity of access and analysis comes the need for more robust analytical tools to decipher the hidden connections and activity.
Automated AI-Powered Open-Source Intelligence Analysis
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

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.
