COUNTERING ORGANIZED CRIMEWITH OSINT
In this event, we'll be taking a practical look at how LEAs and intelligence bureaus can harness SL Professional to map out entire criminal networks to see links between its members, and deanonymize the key players. Criminal organizations rely on social media and messengers just as legitimate ones do. These communication platforms allow different threat groups to coordinate various operations. Yet these activities also leave traces that the OSINT analyst can use to construct a detailed picture of the network and its members. This gives investigations the scope and depth needed to inform effective countermeasures.
SPEED UP INVESTIGATION WORKFLOW
In this event, we'll discuss how to significantly decrease manual work and speed up investigations by implementing automation—all based on your own specific requirements.

The takeaway here is twofold—while cryptocurrencies and their related platforms do have all kinds of security gaps, these systems are not as anonymous as thieves might believe.
BOOST OSINT INVESTIGATIONSWITH TEXTUAL NLP
This event will cover both the theoretical and practical sides of how NLP can transform OSINT processes to deliver essential results across a range of cases.
