Natural Language Processing is a form of machine learning that allows for the teaching of context to a data processing program. Its goal is to enable the rough creation of a human-like understanding of language. While it will not completely replace traditional keyword searching at this point - it will be a bolstering factor to efficacy and relevancy in OSINT investigations.
Intelligence Trends
An industry that was formerly the concern of physical security now requires a converged security approach. The convergence of cyber and physical security will allow security teams to have better communication and broaden their scope of intelligence that couldn’t be otherwise accomplished by operating in silos.
Official reports from the CDC and WHO only told part of the story. Using the Media Sonar platform, we used a simple set of queries to quickly identify any newly reported cases as they were discovered. This information helped fill any gaps and delays in official reporting and helped to provide an early warning of new cases in North America.
What does situational awareness have to do with facility protection? Facility protection involves protecting physical spaces. This is traditionally accomplished by controlling access and monitoring the physical space for threats. Security personnel observe people, and their behaviors, to inform what actions need to be taken at any given moment. The responses tend to be more reactive than proactive because you must rely on what you see to dictate what to do.
Feature Launch: With Threat Models, conduct rule-based searches across millions of online data points to automate the detection of potential threats to your organization. Pathfinder is an easy to use visualization tool that collects and preserves intelligence-gathering activities in a visual map to show the connections within intelligence data.
The Internet turns 30 this week. At Media Sonar, we believe the Internet, like all technology, is neutral. It has…
