Information Analytics & Security

 

Social analytics and cyber security engagement are critical. Information is precious – understand it and protect it.

The world has changed – social networks, the blogosphere and the exploding amount of web-based content means government agencies need to decide how to “listen” to the billions of conversations occurring online and decipher what those conversations and content mean to all facets of their mission. Whether it is information to conduct criminal background analysis (individual or corporate), tracking sentiment related to US government interests, predicting fraud and terrorism related to individual criminal case requirements, and/or resonating US government strategies for encouraging freedom and democracy world-wide, understanding what is being said and then extrapolating actionable and intelligent information is more crucial than ever.

There is a wealth of information that can be gleaned from not just participating in social media, but instantly analyzing and understanding the conversation, how it has shifted over time, applying it and integrating it into an overall strategy to quickly differentiate current/growing threats or leverage the information to learn and possibly influence the behavior for a given foreign policy.
