AI-driven innovations in the latest release of Fivecast MATRIX, the market-leading open-source intelligence solution purpose-built for vetting and screening, are solving the challenges of large-scale risk assessments across the government, law enforcement, and corporate sectors. Newly released capabilities automate the vetting process, driving efficiencies at scale while surfacing risks from a sea of online data. The award-winning Fivecast MATRIX solution is proven to be 20 times faster than manual screening methods. In the first four months of operation, it has saved one Five Eyes vetting agency 35,000 hours. Read on to learn more about this game-changing release from our CEO and Co-founder, Dr. Brenton Cooper.
The need for AI-enhanced intelligence solutions in screening and vetting:
Government and corporate organizations face many challenges stemming from the increased demand to process large volumes of risk assessments, screening, and vetting cases. Uncovering online digital footprints and reviewing publicly available information is critical to detecting risks related to national security, insider threats, fraud, and financial crime. Compounding the challenge is the fact that online data continues to increase; by 2025, consumed data is forecast to reach 181 zettabytes. This exponential growth in online data volume, variety, and velocity makes manual screening and vetting processes highly complex and challenging, with analysts drowning in data from across the Surface, Deep, and Dark Web.
In response to these significant big data challenges within screening and vetting processes, AI must be embedded within large-scale risk assessment intelligence solutions to drive efficiency and aid the decision-making of skilled analysts.
Enhance efficiency in high-volume risk assessment with AI-enabled detection:
Fivecast MATRIX originated from a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense in a US $9M project. An innovative and purpose-built solution was developed that delivers essential intelligence insights for personnel background security investigations. The solution supports continuous evaluation and features secure portal access, intuitive workflows, automated account resolution, user-configurable analytics, and access to publicly available information (PAI) and commercially available information (CAI), including identity databases, social media, and the open web.

Fivecast MATRIX continues to lead innovation in large-scale assessments by incorporating the latest advancements in AI to streamline identity resolution and risk detection by blending broad data collection with enhanced risk analytics, evaluations, and reporting. The solution’s AI innovation is most apparent across three critical areas of performance:
- Enhanced AI-driven multi-media screening – risk detectors can be customized to detect keywords, phrases, and topics across vast volumes of collected multi-media content, including text, images, and video.
- Customizable adjudicative factors – utilizes generative AI to assess data against predefined risk criteria. This approach expedites the evaluation process, enabling organizations to quickly and accurately identify potential breaches of customized compliance criteria.
- Ongoing content moderation – enables threat mitigation through pre-defined term detection across the open web. Analysts and investigators can enhance risk detection through configurable rules, confidence scoring, and easily updated detectors.
With continuous innovation, Fivecast MATRIX has evolved from its defense heritage into a solution for both the government & commercial sectors, enabling analysts and investigators to complete huge volumes of screening and vetting tasks and highlight risk across broad industry use cases, including:
- Insider Threat Detection
- Continuous Evaluation
- Personnel Screening
- Background Investigations
- Visa Processing
- Border Security
- Protective Security
- Due Diligence
- KYC & AML
- Countering the Financing of Terror
- Supply Chain Risk Management
Fivecast MATRIX delivers tangible results, helping to improve vetting efficiencies and reduce resource costs across government and defense industries. It has been proven to be 20 times faster than manual account resolution, reducing vetting time from one week to two hours. This advanced automation ensures analysts and investigators save many hours on manual processing and enhance vetting accuracy. A Five Eyes Government vetting agency has saved 35,000 hours in the first four months of implementation when performing vetting within the national security sector using Fivecast MATRIX.
As technology advances, leveraging artificial intelligence innovation will continue to be a critical component of Fivecast MATRIX, offering transformative technology that navigates complex high-volume screening and vetting and helps our customers across the government, defense, law enforcement, and corporate sectors enable a safer world.
