Meeting colleagues
Emma meets with her colleagues from sister domains to collaborate on the case:
assess the target’s current behavior, identify possible threats and consult on
how to find new leads. Each analyst adds his unique domain perspective, each
complementing the others.
The team’s suspicion that the target is involved in radical activity is
growing. They need to understand his intentions. This requires further
information that will allow Emma to continue her research later on.
After obtaining a warrant,
we now understand the
whereabouts of the criminal.
He has been discussing
his plans, but the NETWORK
INTELLIGENCE analyst thinks
he is hiding something.
The WEB INTELLIGENCE
analyst notes that recently
the target became more
active on secured social
networks, is neglecting
his activity on Twitter and
has started liking pages
associated with radicals.
The HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
operator adds information
he’s received from his
informants, that the target
recently lost his job.
A Web Intelligence alert points to a suspicious profile looking
for explosive tutorials on the Dark Web. The profile is linked to a
group of 4 other people, including a known radical.
Emma’s purpose: to understand the targets’ intentions and
plans and to find their geo locations. She briefs her colleagues,
starts searching for leads and clues in the system’s combined
sources and sends analytical questions to the other teams.
Their goal is to identify the targets and related associates, and
prevent them from carrying out their plan.
