In this blog, our experienced Fivecast Tradecraft Advisor explores the Fivecast Discovery capability designed to streamline intelligence investigations, quickly identify digital footprints and identities, and gain meaningful insights to protect the community.
Streamline Intelligence Investigations with Fivecast Discovery
Analysts and investigators across the world, regardless of industry, are often met with the same issue time and time again: a lack of information when starting an investigation, rapidly followed by an overwhelming deluge of information once they start digging.
The ability to quickly expand and enrich the little data they are provided in a meaningful, digestible way can determine whether an investigation gets wrapped up in a matter of hours or takes months. To help address this problem, Fivecast has developed a new Discovery capability within Fivecast ONYX to streamline investigations by decreasing the amount of time it takes to find relevant subjects of interest and their close associates.

Uncover Critical Data: The Power of OSINT
Often, the challenge lies in sifting through vast seas of information to find the critical pieces that can lead to a breakthrough. This is where Fivecast Discovery shines. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, Discovery gives users access to billions of data points and millions of data sources, including news streams, search engines, people and company databases, social media, sanctions, watch lists, curated data sets, and dark web and data leaks. These sources are essential components of OSINT, providing investigators with a comprehensive view of their subjects of interest.

Often, the starting point is just a name and, if the investigator is lucky, a date of birth, location, or one social media handle. When provided with minimal information, figuring out where to even start can be very difficult – and Discovery helps avoid this issue by not only giving users access to many different sources but also making it easy to pick and choose the results they want to review, making it easy to avoid drowning in too many data points. In Discovery, a user can start a search with just three clicks and see results within 15 seconds.
Turn Large Amounts of Data into Actionable Intelligence
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the need for innovative tools like Fivecast Discovery is increasing. Organizations often require investigators and security teams to incorporate online elements when building a threat or incident report. What is stated verbally can be cross-referenced with what can be seen online. Giving investigators the necessary tools can quickly and easily turn the mountains of data they’re charged with finding and filtering into mole hills of manageable tasks.
While Fivecast Discovery provides identifying data and leads for an investigator, Fivecast ONYX’s other data collection and analysis capabilities allow investigations to continue in one place until a case is closed.
By providing a streamlined, efficient, and secure solution for data analysis, Fivecast helps revolutionize how investigations are conducted, ultimately leading to faster resolutions and enhanced public safety.
