从开源信息中收集情报以获取公共安全

从开源信息中收集情报以获取公共安全

Nowadays, like never before, we are surrounded by a vast amount of data and information flow. A huge part of it is freely and publicly available on the internet. The collected, processed and analysed data can be an excellent source for conclusions and informed actions for professionals working in public safety, transportation, infrastructure, health, government, and non-profit organizations. Especially for those responding to national emergencies.

When we join a task force for the analysis of an issue, we wonder where to obtain data or information that illustrate that particular course. Often, we do not even realise how much of relevant information we can gather from the so-called open sources on the internet. We are freely giving/sharing our data with different vendors and platforms. Every one of us has at least a few devices at our fingertips, which basically collect the most diverse data about us around the clock. We all leave a footprint or trace on the internet.

Thousands of other devices like satellites, cameras, signal-collecting devices etc., are constantly monitoring events, incidents and processes taking place on our planet every second. The collected data includes weather, traffic, crime, financial transactions, ship movements, disasters, our social behaviour, just to name a few. The databases collecting and processing the information are maintained by public or private entities and are updated on an ongoing basis. Much of this vast amount of information is available to almost everyone. The only limitation is the ability to search for relevant data existing in space.

获得OSiNT见解
方法收集这种类型的数据和信息rmation is called Open Source Intelligence (OSiNT). This information collected in OSiNT is freely and publicly available. It is not in sense of free software but rather information from sources, which are open and widely available, for example social media, blogs, groups, Deep Web and Dark Web. Or even conventional sources, such as newspapers or books.

重要的是要了解OSINT并不是要更改任何类型的信息或黑客入侵任何数据库。这是关于从现有的和可用信息以及对其解释的解释中收集情报。

The analysis of open source data on the internet allows us to trace even complex problems many times, make hypotheses, and make conclusions. Before starting the collection of data online, one must clearly define the goal and the scope of information needed for a certain analysis. The search should be preceded by answering specific questions such as the 5Ws1H:

• Who?
• 什么？
• 什么时候？
• Where?
• Why?
• How?

可视化OSINT

The answers will allow us to concretise the scope of the search. Thanks to this, it will be much easier to determine the tools, applications, methods for gathering data. Usually for one type of data we will find several different tools. At this stage of gathering information, we must not get discouraged and jump to false conclusions or even to break up the search. Or simply change the tools.

详细说明分析数据的方法之一是其可视化。亚搏苹果appHexagon为信息分析，位置智能和开源数据提供了几种有用的工具。以Hexagon的仪表板为例，展示亚搏苹果app有关当前Covid-19大流行的扩散的数据。这是一个基于公共地图的交互式互动式应用程序，任何人都可以用来可视化和理解有关该病毒的最新信息。信息每天更新。

The basis for this application is information gathered from the Johns Hopkins University. Currently, the Hexagon map shows real-time COVID-19 information that allows dynamic analysis of the pandemic numbers.亚搏苹果app六边形Smart M.App的解决方案允许将任何可用信息（开源）分层，并在解释这种动态变化的方案时与其位置智能相关。

When designing customised dashboard, the users always should be able to change and adapt the criteria, diagrams, and the layout according to their needs to highlight and focus on the information that illustrate the course of the analysed event at best. This is possible in the presented solution. Subscription to the dashboard gives the user the possibility of getting the latest and most current data, which is continuously updated.

要查看的第二个六角形工亚搏苹果app具是在地理环境中进行分析的设计，它被称为Incident Analyzer。该应用程序用于对事件数据进行动态分析，以涵盖公共安全，运输，基础设施，健康，政府，非营利组织以及许多其他商业和非商业用途的广泛应用。特别是对于那些回应国家紧急情况的人。

在此应用程序中，由于将数据和信息分配到现场（位置智能）中的数据和信息，我们不仅可以跟踪随着时间的推移的相互关系或进度，而且还可以在假定的领域中进行分配或更改。互动地图迅速显示了犯罪，响应时间，停电位置，事故位置，交通流量和疾病爆发等事件的地理集中。

Of course, the analysis done in this application can be supported by data from different systems or devices. This kind of connected information increases the quality of analytical material, allowing organisations to understand patterns, target priority areas. It increases the accuracy of drawn conclusions and can possibly help to predict future incidents so that the agencies and organisations can efficiently allocate resources.

Harnessing, analysing and interpreting relevant data and information can be a tough task for decision makers and responders in the public safety, security and emergency response area. Hexagon’s solutions for gathering and visualising data (also from open source intelligence) in real time helps professionals to make informed decisions.
