Dan Clemens, CEOBesides approaching law enforcement, companies affected by inside or external threats seek alternative options to counter the humans behind security breaches. With most threat intelligence solutions growing out of the web, ShadowDragon’s tools are built by investigators, for investigators, to augment team investigative capabilities in support of physical and cyber cases. “Our solutions have evolved by exploiting breadcrumbs and maximizing nuggets during the investigative process,” explicates Clemens.
Since threat perpetrators use the Internet to run criminal operations, ShadowDragon came up with SocialNet—its first product that aimed at exploring identities, correlations, networks of associates, and other relevant information, within minutes. To top it off, enterprises can use SocialNet along with ‘OIMonitor’ to identify breach leaks, extract information from disparate data sources, analyze the data, and send alerts. With this pairing, ShadowDragon’s clients can benefit from real-time situational awareness by gaining leads of interest and information on potential threats.
ShadowDragon also offers MalNet, a malware prevention product that brings together world- leading Proofpoint threat intelligence that helps businesses identify related malware samples and correlations with signatures.
We are helping our clients develop informed tactics with intelligence specific to a business that is sourced internally versus curated externally
ShadowDragon’s products are best for those who are building their own teams, as they can choose the specific capabilities they need for their investigative workflow and can go for a platform-as-a-service model.
While the nimble and proactive software products are provided by ShadowDragon, the company’s extensive threat intelligence expertise and tools are developed by Packet Ninjas— ShadowDragon’s sister company. ShadowDragon has also partnered with DeliverFund—a nonprofit organization with the goal of stopping human traffickers—to support its mission with robust technology and specialized digital tools. DeliverFund’s International Human Trafficking Analysis Center (iHTAC) is a consortium of professional companies that have partnered to create solutions to help DeliverFund disrupt the modern slave trade and to serve as the central connection and dissemination platform for human trafficking intelligence. As a partner of iHATC, ShadowDragon is dedicated to arming investigators with solutions to track and hunt in the physical as well as cyberdomain and they continue to provide support to DeliverFund as part of their ongoing commitment to make the world a safer place.
The company has plans to release more functionally rich applications this year, some of which include skunk works tools that intend to make reporting easier. More particularly, ShadowDragon’s upcoming Screenshot-as-a Service will enable all ShadowDragon cybersecurity tools to interact through third party open APIs as well as help in integrating OIMonitor capabilities.
ShadowDragon Enters Strategic Partnership with Collaboraite to Build Trust in OSINT
Thursday, March 14, 2024
Global leaders in open-source intelligence and operational security partner to foster trust in data and technology
ShadowDragon, a provider of ethical open-source intelligence (OSINT), distinctive datasets, and APIs, is excited to broaden its partner network through a strategic collaboration with Collaboraite and Vestigo Consulting, both integral parts of the Investigo Group. Collaboraite specializes in data and digital consultancy with a focus on human-centered data and artificial intelligence (AI) challenges. They offer tailored products and applications to facilitate digital transformations for secure partners.
This partnership enables shared clients worldwide to securely access ShadowDragon OSINT investigative tools directly from within the Collaboraite platform, along with the broader OSINT capabilities offered by the group. Moreover, joint training sessions, in collaboration with Vestigo®, will be provided to address the best practices for effectively and safely conducting research on the internet, utilizing the extensive data sources within ShadowDragon.
ShadowDragon, Collaboraite, and Vestigo collectively offer enhanced layers of operational security for OSINT investigations, fostering a stronger relationship between the US and UK and their target customer base. This collaboration aims to assist operational users such as law enforcement (LE) and secure government communities in tackling complex problems and real operational challenges by providing better access to relevant data.
The partnership prioritizes the role of investigators and ensures environments designed with security and privacy in mind. One notable integration advantage is neutral enrichment, combining ShadowDragon's robust advanced OSINT capabilities and analytics with Collaboraite's controlled attribution and evidence capture.
Publicly available information (PAI) obtained online plays a central role in many law enforcement operations today. Victims of crime and criminals themselves leave digital footprints online, containing crucial information that can support operational decisions regarding an investigation. This partnership focuses on locating open-source information (OSINF) and context, facilitating access across departments and agencies to minimize data silos, promote data sharing, and ultimately apply human context to generate valuable intelligence.
Alex Sinvani, Senior Vice President EMEA at ShadowDragon, emphasized the importance of data security and trust in the partnership with Collaboraite, highlighting their shared commitment to trust in data, technology, and partners. He expressed enthusiasm about assisting shared clients in leveraging data to address challenging criminal cases in today's threat landscape.
ShadowDragon's tools provide access to over 200 online data sources, including news websites, social media platforms, chatrooms, malware intelligence, and historical datasets. This access streamlines the process of sourcing, collecting, and organizing publicly available information crucial to modern investigations.
Matt Stagg, CEO and Founder of Collaboraite, underscored the significance of sharing lawfully and securely obtained information, intelligence, and data across law enforcement and partner agencies for achieving successful outcomes. He emphasized the importance of accessing relevant online information and public data quickly, securely, and lawfully to support investigators and researchers in safeguarding the public from online criminal activities.
