OSINT Watcher

The OSINT Watcher is a web based OSINT (Open Source INTelligence) lifecycle automation system designed for investigators. By applying modern collection and analysis techniques, The Watcher automates the 6 step intelligence gathering model. The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) enables automation of the feedback step and allows the system to learn and adjusts to the specific needs of the case.

Automated Intelligence Lifecycle

 Planning / Direction

  • Essential Elements of Information (EEI) items such as actors, locations, threats, related cases, are assembled into a Concern of Interest (COI)
  • Related COIs are collected into a case files with a specific investigative goal
  • This information is monitored and modified by investigators or the system's own AI based feedback
