The Situation

You can’t neutralize a threat until you know it exists

Publicly available information is a force multiplier for threat identification and intelligence operations

The Challenge

Sophisticated technologies and ubiquitous data have enabled both interconnectedness and vulnerability around the world — and have given rise to a variety of threats by nation states and terrorist organizations intent on doing harm.  

Physical threats to citizens, critical infrastructure, and supply chains are well understood, but evolving cybersecurity, political, and economic threats are more difficult to detect. Today’s adversaries are more sophisticated and pose threats that were unimaginable even a few years ago.  

Intelligence professionals must quickly define and detect threats since delays can have severe consequences, such as classified data breaches, infrastructure damage, and loss of lives. Organizations must integrate data gleaned from open sources, exquisite intelligence, and internal systems into a complete picture from which to derive insights.

The Babel Street Solution

The Babel Street Ecosystem offers access to thousands of global and regional publicly available information (PAI) sources in over 200 languages to rapidly discover and decipher physical, cyber, political, and economic threats.  

AI-powered search results help customers extract insights around topics such as Russia’s political interference, China’s growing presence in Africa, and Iran’s increasing cyber threats. Analysts can easily pivot between a broad search, a company search, and a mobile telemetry search to potentially identify signals and proximity, persons of interest, or to pinpoint perimeters of risk.

The Impact on Your Organization

Threat identification and remediation that draws on the power of open-source intelligence (OSINT) distilled into timely, actionable insights is crucial to safeguarding a nation’s citizenry, system of government, and economic well-being. Babel Street's solutions deliver:
