The Dark Web & OSINT

The Dark Web is a dynamic, ungoverned environment where threat actors coordinate cyberattacks, leak sensitive documents, traffic drugs & weapons, & spread propaganda. While the Dark Web can provide valuable insights for intelligence teams, the sheer volume and complexity of data presents significant challenges which can be addressed with open-source intelligence (OSINT) technology.

Any attempt to manually navigate masses of data looking for risks and threats will inevitably lead to false positives, operator burnout or security breaches. This is driving a need for the deep access to Dark Web data and AI-enabled insights provided by OSINT.

the dark web & censored environments:

The use of social media in China is restricted and censored by the Chinese Government to control online narratives. Often citizens must seek alternative platforms, including the Deep and Dark Web, to enable free communication.

Request the white paper from Fivecast and our partner Bluestone Analytics to learn how the Dark Web can be leveraged to evaluate the Chinese online environment and extract strategic insights from difficult-to-access spaces on the Web.
