The intelligence solution and datafusion platform for collaborative analysis and situational assessment.

Your mission: to make an increasingly complex world as safe as possible. Ours: to support you with advanced software solutions.

Analysts and investigators are facing greater challenges than ever before. Terrorism, organized crime and rapidly changing circumstances in ongoing operations pose a constant threat. Cyber-attacks are threatening the way we communicate. Actors and structures are increasingly globally networked – in both the virtual and the real world. Faced with this, effective decisions must be made quickly. However, with an ever-increasing flood of information at our fingertips, it can be difficult to do so when your data must be manually retrieved from a multitude of databases. Using conventional means alone and no smart software, such a task is rendered near impossible.

Next Level Analysis

The Solution to your Challenges: rsShadow.

rsShadow is powered by the latest future-oriented technology, our decades of expertise and a passion for working with security agencies. Our intelligence solutions and datafusion platform automatically consolidate data for you and present it clearly so that you can dedicate your full attention to analysis.

rsShadow extracts, fuses and analyzes insights from a wide variety of sources.
Applicable in a wide variety of use cases: Whether for a quick search, analyzing thousands of documents, investigating organized crime, evaluating military information, or ascribing cyber-threats.
Can be used as a stand-alone solution or in addition to our rsFrame products.

Features

Investigation

Visualization
rsShadow supports several types of visualization. Are there connections between individuals and/or events? This is best presented in a network graph. Which course have events taken? The timeline view will provide that information. If geographical information is available, those connections will also be clearly displayed in the map view.
Hypothesizing
When information is missing, you may have to make assumptions. With rsShadow you can create hypotheses, document them and plan the next steps.
Path Search
Could suspect A and suspect B know each other through a common acquaintance? The Path Search function allows you to clarify these kinds of analytical details by identifying indirect links.

Collaboration

Analysis Workspaces
Whether you want to efficiently collaborate with others or operate in multiple analysis workspaces in parallel, the Analysis Workspace shows you the “big picture”.
Comments
rsShadow facilitates collaborative analysis or final report work. Any comments or questions? They can be added by several users at the same time, simply by using the comment function.
Analysis Path
What led to an analytical outcome? This information is important for both the intended recipients of your reports and for data protection. The Analysis Path provides those answers and seamlessly traces analytical processes.

Search

Simple Search & Complex query
Get the best analysis results step by step: You can use the search function to enter simple terms or more complex correlations. Would you like to search for specific aspects only? Then rsShadow helps to specify the query.
Filter
A search can produce countless results, sometimes too many to look at all of them in detail. With filters, you reduce the flood of data and quickly identify the relevant dataset(s).
Saved Searches
More complex cases frequently run over several weeks or months. That is why you can archive complex searches in rsShadow, as well as reuse them and carry out automatically alerting.

Knowledge Management

Datafusion
rsShadow supports the aggregation and analyzing of data from different sources by merging the data based on defined procedures. When it come to the origin of your data, you will always be able to see where it has come from, with full transparency.
Transparency
Want to record an analytical process path from start to finish? Let rsShadow do it for you in real time! Every search query, every hypothesis and every action is logged in the system. This way, you can always trace back in detail how an analytical process has arrived at its conclusion.
Data Enrichment
Data from connected document sources is not the only source that provides important information for an investigation. rsShadow offers you the possibility to enrich the existing data sets with further information – e.g. from knowledge databases – if required.

Software architecture

Individuality
Everything at a glance with a fully customizable dashboard: rsShadow gives you maximum freedom choose which content your system displays. Templates can even be used to set it up according to your needs.

Recognize patterns, detect motives: How rsShadow supports analysis and attribution of cyberattacks.

When attacks from cyber space occur, analysts must piece together millions of puzzle pieces to get an accurate picture. rsShadow assists in evaluating the information.

Who’s behind a cyberattack?

Evaluating the source and information of cyber threats is one of the most difficult tasks for analysts in security agencies. It often requires gathering, reviewing and interpreting thousands of pieces of information from a wide variety of data sources.

Is it a matter of spying on sensitive information? Is the attack aimed at critical infrastructure?

Threat actors differ in their choice of tactics, techniques, and procedures. Gathering and determining these hints requires powerful technology and the ability to work collaboratively.

rsShadow supports analysts in carrying out these highly complex tasks.

We shine a light into the darkness: rsShadow uncovers digital traces in cyberspace and thereby supports source and information assessment.

Text mining
Do you receive dozens of voluminous cyber threat reports? rsShadow assists with AI-based automated entity extraction to quickly identify relevant information.

Task Management
Who does what when? Cyber threat analyzing is teamwork. With rsShadow tasks can be created and tracked accordingly.

Dynamic data model
Requirements for data management are changing as fast as the world is spinning, as fast the. With rsShadow, users can implement updated requirements by adjusting the data model at any time.
