Open sources are abundant and noisy. The hard part is not finding information but knowing what it refers to and where it came from. This research feeds Durandir Intelligence and Durandir Counterintelligence.
What we study
- Identity resolution: telling apart people, accounts and organisations that share a name, and keeping confirmed matches separate from possible ones.
- Attribution and provenance: tracing a record back to where it was first published, and showing how it travelled from there.
- Relationship analysis: graphs of people, organisations, infrastructure and documents that show how they connect, and why.
- Exposure: what can be learned about a person or an organisation, how an adversary would use it, and how to reduce it.
Why it matters
A wrong match can harm the wrong person. We treat every link as a claim that needs evidence, and we design our tools so that the evidence travels with the finding.
