WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE?

P R O C E S S P R O D U C T

Intelligence is a actionable product that consists of

information that has been tailored and refined to meet the needs of

the clients

NEED TO INVOLVE

EVERYONE WITHIN THE

COMPANY.

C U L T U R E

Intelligence is the process through which that data & information is identified, collected,

analyzed and presented.



OUR VIEW OF INTELLIGENCE

Collection, Storage Identification, Validation , Contextualization

INTELLIGENCE

Source Information (SINF)

Remote Source Information (R –SI)

Direct Source Information (D –SI)

Source Data (SD)

Contextualized , Categorized, Calculated, Corrected, Condensed, Compared, Connections, Calculated

Localization ,

Objectives driven analytics and production



COLLECTION Collection disciplines

Signals Intelligence is information derived from electronic signals and systems used by targets, such as communications systems, radars, and weapons systems.

HUMINT SIGINT IMINT OSINT

Human Intelligence is the collection of information from human sources. The collection may be done openly or it may be done through clandestine or covert means.

Imagery intelligence is an information gathering discipline which collects information via satellite and aerial photography.

Open source intelligence refers to collection from overt, publicly available sources.



WE DEFINE OUR ACTIVITY AS CISTARInspired by military intelligence, transformed into business.

• Commercial Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (CISTAR) we define as “The coordinated acquisition, processing and dissemination of timely, accurate, relevant and assured information and intelligence which supports the planning, and conduct of business objectives that enables our clients to achieve their goals throughout their business operations 24/7”

• CISTAR concept is a “System of Systems” that is made up of three principal elements: information, either raw or processed; the processes that enable information to be collected, collated and analyzed into intelligence; and the physical architecture that encompasses the CISTAR collection systems, their associated organizations and the various staff cells.´( individuals)



CLASSIC INTELLIGENCE CYCLEStill works if you have A LOT of time or if you mix and match

COLLECTIONis the gathering of the raw information needed to produce finished intelligence. Traditionally this involved various collection disciplines like HUMINT, SIGING, IMINT, OSINT and so on.

PROCESSINGinvolves converting the vast amount of information collected to a form usable by analysts through decryption, language translations, and data reduction.

DISSIMINATIONthe distribution of the finished intelligence

to the consumers, the same decision makers whose needs initiated the intelligence

requirements..

PLANNING This is management of the entire effort,

from identifying the need for data to delivering an intelligence product to a

consumer. It is the beginning and the end of the cycle--the beginning because it involves drawing up specific collection requirements

and the end because finished intelligence, which supports business decisions,

generates new requirements.

ANALYSISis the conversion of basic information into finished intelligence. It includes integrating, evaluating, and analyzing all available data--which is often fragmentary and even contradictory--and preparing intelligence products.

OSINT- SOURCE TYPES THAT ANYONE CAN ACCESSSkills, budget and creativity sets the difference

OFF LINE

FOR FREELibraries: Usually forgotten, usually the most effective for cultural and historical context baselines.Colleagues : The most forgotten, the most difficult to manage, the best insights

OFF LINE FOR FEE

Grey information, consultants etc.

ONLINE FOR FREETime is not free. However with clearly planned objectives and it your company have recurring types of needs. For free is good, but you are a victim of constant

change, validation challenges, secondary copy cats*1000 etc.Some online ( broadcast) for free is instantaneous an requires monitoring 24/7

ONLINE FOR FEE

Depending what you need, you might need a lot of subscriptions.

WE HAVE CREATED A COMPUTERIZED, INTERACTIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROFILING INTRANET DEVICE FOR BORSEN WITH ENTITY EXTRACTION AGENTS AND VIZUALIZATION. I CALL IT THE ”OSINT-CENTER” AND IT IS RESTRICTED TO 5 COMPUTERS.

WONDERFUL. MAKE SOME PHOTOCOPIES AND ROUTE IT AROUND.

BUT I REALLY ONLY ASKED FOR THE NAME OF WHO IS SPEAKING AT SOLYSTSPEAKING TODAY.



OSINT- TOOLSA snapshot of what is needed

#1COLLECTINGFor free Digital information there is still a full menu of Search engines that you can pick an chose from.

+60%Remember that most data and information you need is

within sites & databases that is not indexed even by Google. But their promises are indexed.



A COMMENT ON SEARCH ENGINES ON THE OPEN WEB

LOCAL

RESTRÌCTED

SEARCH ENGINES




#1COLLECTINGFragments and partial restricted information that can act as early warning, heads up or provide insight into who knows who.

LinkedIn- is useful for insight into professional networks – then mix it with Facebook and the other and your on the way to create a stakeholder map.

Use Twitter, not only for “heads up” but to map who is following and who your target is following.

Use Instagram and Flickr to see what they see and where.

#1COLLECTINGContent aggregators comes in many flavors.
