Security Monitoring with Infinit.e

The Internet is the most popular outlet for communication and it is the richest resource for information and research. It is easily accessible and has the ability to spread a message around the world in a matter of seconds. All of these characteristics of the online community make it an ideal platform for connecting; however, not all of the exchanges online are legal or positive. Drug dealers, criminals and anarchists exchange messages, make announcements and mark their locations online every day. It is necessary to tap into the wealth of information online in order to stay ahead of their actions.

Becoming Proactive vs. Reactive

It is hard to keep up with the second-by-second updates that occur online, and since a large portion of information that is shared online is unstructured, it can be impossible for someone to find it without the proper technology. Being able to harness online communication and track messages, locations and people can revolutionize the world of law enforcement and intelligence by giving them the tools to be proactive in stopping crime before it occurs.

Using Social Data Analysis to Find Connections

Staying on top of online communication is extremely difficult with constant updates from millions of users. Ikanow’s Infinit.e can perform social data analysis to monitor who is saying what, where, and when. Law enforcement and intelligence communities can use Infinit.e’s technology to find connections and links between people and organizations and patterns in their messages. All of this information can then be narrowed to down find a key informant or instigator that investigations can pursue. Infinit.e’s ability to harness and make sense of this big, unstructured data gives law enforcement a heads-up on patterns and trends in communication that could be of significance.

Combining Data to Reveal Patterns

Infinit.e’s ability to analyze, map and store information can help law enforcement and intelligence communities discover trends and add knowledge to crime incident patterns. Through big data collection, Infinit.e can detect crime trends by many statistics, including type and location. This information can then be cross-referenced with existing crime reports, witness accounts and threats. The best part is that Infinit.e’s technology is highly customizable and user-friendly, making it easy to track suspicious accounts and messages no matter where or when they occur.

Ikanow’s Infinit.e has the ability to make sense out of structured and unstructured data that could be meaningful. Through visualizations and analyses, it can bring together seemingly unrelated elements of information to reveal histories of communication or links between cases.

With the complexity of real-time updates and a sea of white noise, finding useful information online without the proper technology can be difficult for law enforcement and intelligence communities. The assistance of a fast, comprehensive, results-driven tool can help these security professions act confidently in situations in which a matter of seconds can heed dramatic differences.
