For security teams monitoring threats across the globe, gathering timely and accurate intelligence with context can be challenging. Technology has evolved to allow security teams to work more effectively, analyzing huge volumes of data at speed, enabling faster processing and threat detection – but it still makes mistakes. Our Virtual Analyst tool combines the best of both worlds – the efficiency of artificial intelligence and the accuracy of human analysis.
At the click of a button, the incident summary tool will provide an overview of hundreds of human-verified incidents, helping to enhance users’ understanding and allowing you to delve further into trends and themes without having to manually review all individual incidents.
There has long been a struggle between speed and accuracy in the world of threat intelligence. Receiving intelligence via AI and automated scrapers allows security teams to react quickly, but there is a risk that the intelligence may not be accurate, whereas human-led intelligence delivers quality and accuracy, but there is the risk that teams will receive this information too late. By balancing the future human aspect of analytics—where human creativity, cognitive abilities, and emotional intelligence are crucial—with advanced machine learning, organizations can begin to understand how data processing can be harnessed without compromising on timeliness or reliability.
Our team of expert analysts monitor the global threat landscape 24/7, reporting incidents across 159 different category types and capturing multiple data points, including accurate geo-location, impact rating, causalities and more. These incidents are 100% human-verified before being added to the platform, and analysts will add insights and commentary to help users better interpret context and relevance, connecting threats to specific organizational impacts.
We map over 20,000 new incidents each month that can be used for planning and reporting. Our approach brings together humans’ individual differences in analyzing potential threats with the speed of data driven automation.
We use the Intelligence Cycle to help us focus our collection efforts to best meet the needs of you and your organization. In addition, we use Intelligence Collection Plans, which is a process often used by armed forces and intelligence services to ensure that the intelligence requirements of a mission or client are met.
Combining both allows users to process vast amounts of data in seconds, identifying patterns, trends and anomalies with precision and trust. In a world increasingly reliant on leaning into machine learning and neural networks, it is vital to remember that a combination of humans and algorithms yields the most accurate and nuanced intelligence.
The Virtual Analyst Tool can be accessed from various locations on the Intelligence Fusion platform. Custom filters can be set up to get granular results based on what matters most to you and your organisation. You can also summarise incidents near your physical assets to get an understanding of the biggest threats in the areas you are operating in. In addition, you can summarise country profiles to see the biggest risks, incident types, geographic distribution and trends impacting specific countries. By leveraging advanced machine learning mechanisms, combined with human collaboration, we can transform raw data into actionable insights with minimal delay, ultimately improving customer service workflows and overall human customer service experiences.
The Virtual Analyst Tool can enhance your productivity by speeding up the writing of comprehensive summaries or reports for clients/senior management. Simply copy and paste the analysis, fine-tune filters and regenerate an analysis or use the incident summary tool as the basis for a report. If you want more in-depth analysis, you can reach out to speak to a member of the analyst team in order to access a comprehensive human-generated report. Through predictive analytics, intelligent systems, and an awareness of individual differences in how analysts interpret data, this tool helps unify the strengths of both AI and humans in threat intelligence.
Using the Virtual Analyst Tool integrates tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence, allowing users to make confident decisions based on a complete picture and anticipate future threats to safeguard your organisation. It capitalises on human cognition, emotional intelligence, and deep learning technologies to deliver a balanced perspective. By involving both machine learning and human brain insights, security teams can foresee emerging patterns that purely artificial solutions might omit, reflecting the essence of human artificial intelligence collaboration.
