Capabilities

APT Campaign Attribution A single lure leads to a familiar malware family—but not yet to an actor. By following reused certificates, registration patterns, loader configuration, victim targeting and tradecraft across separate intrusions, analysts can test whether the evidence points to one coordinated espionage campaign. Cyber Threat Intelligence IOC Pivoting Booter-for-Hire Takedown: Operation QUIET TERM A denial-of-service attack looks like a wall of traffic. The investigation begins when analysts ask who sold it. Matching the attack pattern to a commercial “stresser” service can open a path from storefronts and reseller panels to hosting, payment infrastructure and the people operating the business. Internet Crimes DDoS Booter Takedown Child Abduction Rapid ID A witness remembers the vehicle color and only part of the plate. Every minute expands the search area. Dispatch audio, witness details, registration records and plate-reader hits have to become a short list of vehicles—and then a live route—before the suspect crosses another jurisdiction. Missing Persons AMBER Alert ALPR Crypto Exchange Counterparty Risk Check A digital-asset venue can look healthy on paper while its wallets tell a different story. Before funds are committed, analysts need to understand who controls the business, what its balances are exposed to on-chain and whether published reserve snapshots reflect durable holdings or temporary positioning. Risk Check On-Chain Exposure Crypto Laundering Trace The stolen funds are visible on-chain, but that does not make them actionable. The useful trace is the one that turns thousands of addresses into a smaller set of wallets, services and cash-out points—and shows investigators which organizations and jurisdictions can provide the next piece of evidence. Financial Crimes Blockchain Wallet Graph Data Breach Source Tracing A dataset appears for sale and the sample checks out. The next question is the expensive one: where did it come from? Schema details, row order, seeded records and export history can distinguish a compromised production system from a vendor copy, a backup or an insider-held extract. Data Breach Detection Dark Web Fentanyl Supply Chain Investigation It starts with a sales handle advertising controlled substances. The useful target is the operation behind it: the companies, people, domains, freight routes and payment rails that keep the storefront supplied. Following those connections can turn a disposable online identity into a network investigators can actually work. Illegal Trafficking OSINT Foreign Front-Company Network One company at one address looks unremarkable. Then another turns up in the same suite, with the same registered agent—and a director whose name appears across filings in several cities. Following those repetitions can reveal whether a collection of ordinary-looking businesses is actually one coordinated structure. Intelligence Investigations Front Companies Ghost Buyers: Dual-Use Drone Procurement Network The orders look ordinary one at a time: a distributor, a retailer, a plausible end user. The pattern changes when separate buyers share agents, documents, freight routes and destinations. Analysts have to determine whether those coincidences describe normal commerce—or a coordinated network diverting controlled drone components. Intelligence Investigations Export Control Gunfire Series Ballistics Linkage Several gunfire alerts, calls for service and recovered casings may describe separate incidents—or a single conflict that is accelerating. Linking the scenes requires bringing sensor data, dispatch records and ballistic evidence together, then asking whether the same firearms, locations and associated people keep reappearing. Gangs Investigations NIBIN Hurricane Dalia — Landfall Monitor The forecast track shifts only a few miles, but the operational consequences do not. A different basin takes the surge, another evacuation zone becomes exposed and resources staged yesterday may now be on the wrong side of the storm. The key question after each model cycle is simple: what changed? Natural Disasters Storm Surge Evacuation Insider Exfiltration: The Night-Shift Backup An employee resigns without incident. Days later, a data-loss alert points to an unusual transfer just before departure. The investigation has to determine whether that alert was a one-off event or the visible end of weeks of staging—and exactly what left, where it went and who controls the destination. Data Breach Detection Insider Threat DLP Maritime Smuggling Vessel Track A cargo vessel stops transmitting for six hours in a busy shipping lane. When it reappears, its reported course does not explain what radar and satellite observations suggest happened at sea. Reconstructing the gap may reveal a rendezvous—and ownership records may reveal who actually stands behind the vessel. Border Protection AIS Track Norden Strait Subsea Cable Watch A subsea cable faults twice within days. Hundreds of vessels crossed the corridor, and most have innocent explanations. Investigators need to narrow the field by matching precise fault locations and times with vessel tracks, reporting gaps, imagery and ownership changes—while the vessels of interest may still be underway. Infrastructure Protection AIS Overnight Bust-Out: Synthetic Identity Ring Each account looks healthy on its own: months of on-time payments, ordinary purchases and nothing that trips a major rule. The pattern appears only when accounts are compared. Shared devices, addresses, phone numbers and application behavior can reveal a synthetic-identity ring preparing for a coordinated bust-out. Fraud Detection Synthetic Identity PEP Real-Estate Purchase — Enhanced Due Diligence The diligence file is complete: buyer identified, ownership declared, funds documented. But the corporate chain ends at nominee directors, and the loan paperwork raises more questions than it answers. A deeper review has to follow ownership and money beyond the documents that were submitted for approval. Enhanced Due Diligence PEP Port Container Watch: Reefer Rip-Off Crew The manifest looks normal. The seal is valid. But the verified weight is wrong—and the same kind of discrepancy has appeared on several containers handled during the same shifts. Connecting cargo, stowage, seal and terminal records can turn one suspicious box into a pattern worth investigating. Border Protection Rip-On/Rip-Off Protectee Threat Escalation: The Fixated Letter Writer The newest letter is angry, but the real question lives across years of correspondence. Has the language changed? Has a grievance become more specific? Has online fixation turned into physical proximity? Protective intelligence depends on seeing whether separate communications and behaviors form an escalating pattern. Threat Prevention Protective Intelligence Rail HazMat Release: The Plume the Model Missed The first plume model says the neighborhood is clear. Then field sensors begin showing readings where the model predicted none. As wind, terrain and atmospheric conditions shift, responders need to understand what changed—and which schools, care facilities, routes and resources now sit inside the real hazard area. Emergency Response HazMat Plume Modeling Ransomware Infrastructure Attribution The forensic timeline explains how the ransomware moved through the victim network. Attribution begins outside it. Certificates, passive DNS, staging hosts, leak-site infrastructure and operator mistakes can connect the intrusion to a wider footprint—and show whether the evidence supports a known group, a new cluster or neither. Cyber Crimes C2 Infrastructure Rogue Banking App Campaign Takedown One fake banking app disappears from a store and three more arrive under different names. The useful unit of investigation is not the listing—it is the actor behind the clones. Shared signing certificates, command infrastructure and distribution channels can reveal which apps belong to the same campaign. Digital Risk Protection Fake Apps RTCC Live Intercept: Armed Carjacking A gunshot alert fires, a 911 call reports an armed carjacking and a nearby camera catches a vehicle leaving the scene. The challenge is not collecting more data—it is turning those separate signals into one verified incident, a track investigators can follow and useful context for responding officers. Emergency Response ALPR Live Ops Serial Armed Robbery Linkage Three stores are robbed in different precincts. The reports use different language, the vehicle description is incomplete and no single incident looks exceptional. The break may come from the similarities: timing, entry method, offender roles, repeated phrases and geography that suggest the robberies belong to one crew. Criminal Investigations Case Linkage Supply-Chain Implant Watch: Signed Client Beaconing The software is signed, the certificate is valid and the update came through the vendor’s normal channel. Yet a subset of clients begins beaconing to unfamiliar infrastructure. To understand whether the problem entered through the supply chain, analysts have to compare behavior, build versions and telemetry across organizations. Cyber Threat Intelligence Supply Chain
