The Situation
Elevate and Accelerate Criminal Investigations
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools can help law enforcement professionals thwart increasingly complex, sophisticated, and borderless criminal activities
The Challenge
Law enforcement agencies at all levels are faced with an evolving landscape of physical and online crime perpetrated by transnational criminal organizations, nation states, local syndicates, and individuals.
Today’s investigations are correspondingly difficult and time-consuming, often involving tracing digital footprints, building fake personas for dark web searches, and piecing together disparate data. Once collected, large volumes of digital evidence, such as emails, social media posts, and smartphone data, must be verifiable for evidentiary purposes.
