OPEN-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE 

The Problem

Intelligence analysts face the dual challenges of having to answer very complex questions in a record time. Despite that, the tradecraft remains highly labour-intensive, because it requires the human eye and brain to identify risk relevant indicators and information and separate the actionable signal from the sea of noise. 

Investigating complex bodies of evidence is extremely time-consuming, too. Often analysts will recourse to using analog techniques such as an investigative board to visualise and analyse all their evidence. 

​Finally, intelligence organisations struggle to produce data-driven visualisations to communicate their insights to their clients, because most of the knowledge is scattered in unstructured format.

Our Solution

reKnowledge has been designed to tackle all of these problems. The web-browser add-on streamlines data collections and consolidations by removing the need for copy/pasting. In addition, the add-on automatically tracks every source used to create or modify knowledge. Finally, the add-on works both on the surface and the dark web.

With the analytical workbench analysts navigate, query, visualise and find insights faster by merging the human-led investigations and questioning with the ability of the machine to crunch large amounts of information. 

They can also communicate their insights to their clients by creating powerful data-driven visualisations. 

​Finally, with the reKnowledge data ecosystem, intelligence organisations can build a strong institutional knowledge to create reliable indicators monitoring and situational awareness systems.

Use cases

Discover how reKnowledge was used to investigate the Russian private military network. 

The investigation was a typical OSINT exercise where the analyst had to gather discreet pieces of evidence from a huge variety of sources. In addition, mapping and managing this body of evidence is a recurrent problem for researchers. With reKnowledge data ecosystem and analytical workbench, domain experts can easily manage, navigate and query their knowledge base to find actionable insights.
