CRYPTOCURRENCY DE-ANONYMIZATION With the rise in cryptocurrency use for illicit transactions around the globe, law enforcement and security teams need deeper intelligence. Especially when it comes to funding terror and organized crime, intelligence tools that apply advanced analytical techniques, such blockchain analytics, open sources (OSINT), and lawful interception (LI), can help de-anonymize these transactions, tame the “Wild West” factor, and help teams track and trace even these covert transactions. These tools help build intelligence over time by clustering and visualizing historical and future data based on neighboring and connected suspects or entities of interest. ANALYTICS & DATA FUSION In the real world, data isn’t always neat and tidy. With intelligence arriving in a wide variety of formats, ranging from text, video, and audio to maps and statistics, and from a massive range of sources, including financial records, cyber, WEBINT, forensics, government databases, and more, the data is surely out there—but is difficult to piece together meaningfully. In these situations, thinking out of the box is not just a nice-to- have—it’s a critical necessity to gain an edge. Releasing data from silos helps law enforcement and security teams make connections and identify factors they would probably overlook using conventional means. SITUATIONAL INTELLIGENCE When complex situations are emerging in real time, law enforcement and security organizations need insights that help them move as quickly and safely as possible. Data collection is the key to any intelligence-led law enforcement approach, and this is even more true with developing situations. A number of products are available today that are targeted to specific situations and needs, such as video command and control, real- time situational awareness, and incident management and response, all of which can be combined with AI and machine learning to quickly highlight crucial data and patterns. 16
