GEO-OSINT Situational Awareness as a Service
Turning Information into Actionable Intelligence
Many offerings operate like a vacuum consuming endless amounts of OSINT data from Twitter and other social media based on a simple hashtag or keyword search. This leaves the customer with a plethora of data then requiring them to find the needle in the haystack that’s important to their intelligence.
SilentSignals gathers geo-specific data from Twitter as most situational awareness use-cases want critical up-to-the-moment information from a specific location centered around the “location-of-interest”. This is collected Live to ensure that the data is topical, but also before it’s potentially removed from Twitter as part of its automated algorithms. The geo-specific data eliminates the majority of the static, retweets, and accidental posting of misinformation such as old images or videos from other events unrelated to the topical event. The geo-specific data combined with Live collection as well as hashtags, keywords, language-specific phrases, emojis, and more create an “automated curation” of the data. This automation turns the process into actionable Intelligence.

Predictive Analysis (What and Where Next?)
Predicting what may happen next is critical to situational analysis and is key to the organization’s Response to the crisis. SilentSignals analyzes the tweets and posts chronologically and also chronolocationally. By analyzing the emerging events in a timeline combined with location, movements can be tracked to determine what and where something might happen next. This intelligence is also provided to the organization to make informed decisions and a response to the crisis.
Preservation
Twitter filters, algorithms, and AI tune out data important to your intelligence. By collecting the data live, SilentSignals gathers your data and curates it before it’s taken down by Twitter. Additionally, SilentSignals archives the data for additional eDiscovery, incident response and forensics if necessary. This evidentiary backup archive may also include cross-correlated data or additional data collected from other topical sources such as Discord, Facebook, Instagram, and more.
