Altia unveils cutting-edge new product to improve law enforcement investigations
Leading investigative technology firm, Altia, has launched an innovative new product designed to transform how open-source intelligence can be monitored, captured, and managed as part of any kind of investigation.
The advanced module, OSINT Investigator, enables investigation and risk teams to streamline their approach and deal with growing volumes of digital data and backlogs.
Built by a team of open-source intelligence experts, the new product brings a heightened level of efficiency, security, and ease of use to investigative teams as they gather digital evidence.
Streamlining the collection and analysis of data from open sources, the software provides actionable insights, allowing them to pursue avenues of interest which may have been unclear.
OSINT Investigator is available exclusively on Altia HQ, a new first of its kind platform which offers a holistic approach to investigative case management to help accelerate the crime-solving process.
Dave Sampson, Consultant for Digital Intelligence, Altia, said:
“With the ever-growing volume of digital information, OSINT Investigator is designed to give investigating teams the tools they need to stay ahead.
“Whether it’s for criminal investigations or risk management, a wide range of organisations are finding they need an efficient and compliant way to gather, analyse and interpret publicly available information.
“We have developed a product that empowers investigators to monitor and capture digital content from the web in a highly secure and auditable way, while seamlessly integrating with case management workflows.
“This innovation puts investigation and risk teams in a stronger position to proactively gather data and manage complex investigations.”
With encrypted data and continuous monitoring, testing, and updating of security controls, OSINT Investigator is engineered to handle sensitive intelligence securely and efficiently.
The cloud native solution empowers investigators to efficiently monitor and capture content from the surface, deep, and dark web.
Meanwhile, its perpetual search functionality allows for proactive monitoring of specified URLs and key words, alerting users to relevant matches and capturing intelligence in real time.
The module is designed to grow with teams, allowing investigations to scale-up while maintaining strict governance over data sharing and capture.
Additionally, direct open-source capture ensures data integrity without third-party interference, supporting timely and secure information gathering.
The tool integrates seamlessly with Altia’s case management module, Insight, streamlining the entire investigative process, from data capture to court file preparation.
Rob Sinclair, CEO of Altia said:
“OSINT Investigator brings about a paradigm shift. By offering a powerful yet easy-to-use solution, we’re helping any organisation that carries out investigations manage vast amounts of digital intelligence securely and efficiently.
“This product reflects our commitment to innovation and ensures investigators have the right tools to deliver results when the volume of digital data and information is growing exponentially.”
OSINT Investigator is the first service to be launched directly onto Altia HQ since the platform was unveiled in June this year.
Offering law enforcement, government, and regulatory bodies a holistic approach to investigations, Altia HQ enables users to save time, improve collaboration and identify avenues of interest with a consolidated range of investigative modules.
Altia HQ is designed to give organisations that conduct investigations connected digital tools which will help guide their analysis.
Integrating all of Altia’s existing investigative tools into an easy to navigate, centralised hub, the software provides law enforcement and security agencies with in-depth digital tools to support their investigations.
The platform adheres to the latest security standards and offers swift module upgrades and adaptations to ensure compliance and feature requirements are met, allowing customers to focus on their investigations instead.
