Rapid access to real-time data is critical to decision dominance. Military and government personnel need new ways of keeping pace with the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Leveraging Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) present new opportunities for uncovering insights and outpacing near-peer and asymmetric adversaries.

The Edge of OSINT and AI

In recent high-profile conflicts, it is undeniable that OSINT, can be exploited to gain an operational advantage. The information being posted, streamed, and transmitted by millions of smartphones around the clock offers insights waiting to be uncovered. In many cases, timely use of OSINT can mean the difference between victory or defeat in near-peer conflicts.

Promising developments in AI-driven defensive capabilities, such as the opportunity to analyze millions of data points efficiently and effectively to find the proverbial “needle in a haystack,” present new opportunities to outpace near-peer and asymmetric adversaries. Defenders can leverage AI capabilities to gain advantages in situational awareness, anticipate changes in the threat landscape, and even uncover unconventional solutions to age-old problems.

However, the nature and location of OSINT and AI means both the data and the systems they derive from cannot always be trusted.

Secure Access. Real-Time Advantage.

Everfox Hardsec Solutions unlock new opportunities for Secure Access to untrusted data, systems, and networks. Operators can gain the near real-time intelligence they need to stay ahead of near-peer and asymmetric adversaries without introducing additional risk to the organization. Stepping into a different tempo and proactive posture can serve to shift the paradigm of how analysts and operators work and give them an advantage over adversary decision loops to stay ahead of the threat.
