CAPABILITIES
TRIPWIRE
Our powerful open source tool puts collection, analytics, AI, and finished reporting in one environment, providing operators with global situational awareness, the ability to seamlessly monitor emerging news and narratives around the world, and take decisive action where and when it's needed.
​
UNRIVALED COLLECTION
We collect the broadest array of open source data of any tool on the market today - more than 97k sources in more than 200 countries and 243 languages - and make translation from native language to English seamless. This enables every analyst to work off of the same underlying data and view the full text of every item in our 30+ TB repository in both English and the vernacular.
​
BLEEDING EDGE ANALYTICS
We leverage proprietary AI capabilities to help users quickly sort through and understand the data, discover and surface emerging threats, cluster and track existing and splintering narratives, and derive actionable insights quickly. With one-click sourcing, analysts can easily add context and source notes, ensuring every piece of finished reporting can be checked and validated.
POWERFUL ACCESSORIES
We designed a suite of high-value bolt-on capabilities that make TRIPWIRE even more powerful.
TRACER
(TRIPWIRE Regional Analysis, Collection, Exploitation & Research)
Our analysis team develops custom tactical and deep-dive reporting, providing a more complete understanding of the rapidly changing open source information environment. Our trained regional experts leverage their cultural and linguistic expertise to parse the data, derive clear insights, predict changing conditions, and optimize messaging for specific audiences.
SNARE
(Social & Network Analysis Relationship Environment)
Our social and network analysis capability allows you to quickly see connections between targets and across narratives, detect emerging networks, trace events and messages, and understand how information is changing and splintering.
SCOUT
(Sensitive Collection & Obfuscated Unclassified Targeting)
SCOUT puts obfuscated tactical targeting capabilities at your fingertips by integrating tradecraft into the tool, so operators can go safely beyond the virtual wire and conduct sensitive targeted collection against high-threat actors without needing to manage their virtual infrastructure or digital footprint.
Complete Data Integration
Merge your data with our TRIPWIRE collection to provide complete visibility in one system. We do the work of porting your data into a custom secure repository, eliminating the need to export data sets and jump from tool-to-tool to perform analysis.
New Source Collection
Want a source we don't have? We'll build a collection plan to get it and integrate that data directly into your instance of TRIPWIRE.
