Our experienced Digital Investigation Analysts provide contextualised intelligence to disrupt disinformation campaigns. We have run social media monitoring and threat discovery projects in 78 different geographies and 62 languages. We provide ongoing services to social media platforms, multinational corporations, nation states and the UN, EU and USAID. We identify, attribute and contextualise online threats to produce highly targeted, actionable insights.
We zero in on complex threat activity from a range of organisations who exploit the digital space to recruit and co-ordinate real-world harm at scale. We track threats and understand their past evolutions, enabling us to anticipate future tactics and activities. We weaken the real-world impact of adversarial groups, protecting companies and citizens.
New behaviours proliferate as digital technology develops. Today’s behaviours include doxxing, brigading, mass reporting, griefing, swatting, raiding, and crashing – all of which can, and do, lead to real-world harm. Whether we are assessing state surveillance of human rights activists, military brigading of political opposition groups, or extremist doxxing of citizens based on their gender or sexuality, our team brings unrivalled expertise to tracking and analysing emerging harms across the digital ecosystem.
The digital threat landscape is constantly changing. Adversarial threat actors are always evolving, developing new and increasingly sophisticated ways to target vulnerable social, ethnic and religious groups online.
Our digital investigators identify and verify digital threat actors before they can exploit a platform’s functionality or audience at scale and cause genuine online and offline harm. Our approach means that, just like threat actors, we aren’t constrained by the boundaries of individual platforms. Our cross-platform and off-platform approach enables us to detect, map out, and attribute large-scale hostile networks.
