Investigation Violent Extremism with OSINT

Did you know that 95% of the deep web is publicly accessible? Or that information uncovered in a high-profile leak incident had been available on the deep web for years?

Without the right tools, organisations are forgoing the ability to access, understand, and leverage the full amount of information available to them on the entirety of the internet. NexusXplore is designed to help – it can streamline intelligence efforts, enabling efficient collection from the surface, deep, and dark web.

This whitepaper is especially relevant to you if you:

Need to investigate and monitor threat groups.
Want to easily investigate the Dark Web in a safe and secure environment.
Work in law enforcement, government agencies or intelligence teams

Modern Conflict Whitepaper_updated format.png

OSINT and Modern Conflict

As of January 2024, there are over one hundred discrete armed conflicts raging across the globe. Forty-five of those are in the Middle East and North Africa, thirty-five in greater Africa, twenty-one in Asia, and seven in Europe.

Across these conflicts, the evidence suggests that civilian populations do not play a passive role - instead organising themselves to survive, resist, rebel against, or assist warring factions. OSINT plays a key role in providing militaries, intelligence agencies, investigative institutions, and non-government organizations with a broad, comprehensive, and accessible source of information. OSINT can also be leveraged to misinform, disinform, and confuse analysts.

This whitepaper is especially for you if:

You are tasked with gaining situational awareness on current and emerging conflicts.
Work in defense, national security, non-profit, or the intelligence community
Have a responsibility for force or executive protection

Financial Crime Whitepaper_Completed.png

Investigating Financial Crime using OSINT

Organizations that invest in technology to help solve compliance challenges and fight financial crime experience less severe impacts with cost savings averaging $25m AUD per annum. Fines for non-compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are increasing, costing organizations millions of dollars for failing to conduct adequate due diligence. Government stimulus packages are routinely targeted by organized crime, including state-sponsored groups. Threat actors can engage in identity theft and synthetic identity fraud using information, credentials, and details easily found online.

Using information found online, threat actors can attack organizations, businesses, and government agencies using social engineering methods.

This whitepaper is especially relevant to you if you:

Investigate financial crime and criminal enterprises.
Leverage online information to support your investigations.

Supply Chain Investigations_draft updated format.png

Understanding Supply Chain Risk with OSINT

Identifying supply chain risks can be difficult. Some of the most complex are government supply chains. For example, computer equipment and software within the Australian Department of Defence was estimated to be outsourced to 828 third-party suppliers.

As the complexity and global scale of supply chains has increased, the oversight and ability of governments and executive boards to exercise control over security practices and hygiene has decreased.

This whitepaper is especially relevant to you if you:

Are tasked with identifying risks within your organization's supply chain.
Need help efficiently mapping, analysing and understanding the risks in your supply chain
Work in government, or large corporations that work across multiple jurisdictions, or with particularly complex supply chains.
