Today’s threats, whether to business or national security, are rapidly changing and geographically diffuse. Publicly available data can contain a wealth of valuable information. The Internet is a living source of intelligence that can help you pre-empt and mitigate threats by leveraging information from public and unclassified sources. Harnessing the power of aggregated open-source information can turbo-charge predictive, preventive, and investigative processes.
Nearly every internet resource provides a standards-based interface via RSS and/or ATOM. This interface allows for persistent monitoring of site content, even as people are posting and site content morphs in real time. Easy to use, fast, and scalable, Blueforce Crawler V2.0 is our next generation open-source intelligence (OSINT) application for real-time monitoring of websites, news feeds, blogs, and other RSS-based information resources for topics of interest to the Blueforce Crawler enduser. Simply create one or more Crawler profiles and Blueforce Crawler monitors the internet for you and provides configurable feeds with crawler results to your phone or your desktop.
