Protective Security Intelligence is a dynamic and evolving field, as threats and risks continually change. It integrates technology, human intelligence, and analytical skills to provide timely and accurate information to support security measures and protect against potential dangers.

Rescor’s approach involves collecting, assessing, and disseminating intelligence and security-related information to support decision-making and enhance security measures.

Here are critical aspects of Protective Security Intelligence (PSI):

Threat Assessment: Rescor PSI professionals assess potential threats and risks to individuals, organizations, or assets. This includes identifying physical threats, cyber threats, insider threats, and other vulnerabilities.

Information Gathering: Rescor PSI teams gather information from various sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and imagery intelligence (IMINT), to build a comprehensive understanding of the security landscape.

Analysis: Rescor PSI teams then analyze the collected information to identify patterns, trends, and potential threats. Intelligence analysts use various analytical techniques to evaluate the credibility and significance of the information.

Risk Mitigation: Rescor PSI teams work to develop strategies and security measures to mitigate identified risks. This may involve implementing physical security measures, cybersecurity protocols, personnel security, or other protective measures.

Counterintelligence: It is essential for our PSI Team to focus on Identifying and countering espionage or other security threats posed by insiders or external actors seeking to gather sensitive information.

Collaboration: Rescor works incredibly closely with Law Enforcement partners. PSI teams collaborate with Law Enforcement agencies, government agencies, and other organizations to share intelligence and enhance security efforts.

Cybersecurity: Rescor’s dedicated Cyber Security division, which involves monitoring and analyzing cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks.

Open Source Security, often called "Open Source Security Intelligence" or "Open Source Threat Intelligence," involves using publicly available, open-source information and data to enhance cybersecurity and threat detection efforts. Rescor's approach leverages knowledge from various open sources to gain insights into potential security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.

Here are critical aspects of Open Source Security:

Threat Intelligence: Rescor Open Source Threat Intelligence focuses on using OSINT to identify and monitor threats, including cyber threats, physical security threats, and geopolitical risks. It involves tracking threat actors, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and indicators of compromise (IoCs).

Vulnerability Assessment: Rescor Open Source Security can help identify software vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in applications, operating systems, or other technology stacks. Vulnerability information may be publicly disclosed; organizations can use this data to assess their security posture.

Monitoring and Alerting: Rescor PATENTED PENDING Automated tools and systems can continuously monitor open-source data feeds for specific keywords, IoCs, or patterns that may indicate security threats. When relevant information is detected, alerts can be generated for security teams to investigate further.

Incident Response: In the event of a security incident, open-source information can be valuable for understanding the scope and impact of the incident. It can also provide context that helps in the incident response process.

Cyber Threat Hunting: Rescor cybersecurity professionals can proactively hunt for potential threats or suspicious activities in open-source data to identify emerging threats or vulnerabilities before they are widely recognized.

Reputation and Brand Monitoring: Organizations can use Rescor open-source data to monitor their online reputation and brand mentions, which can help identify potential fraud, scams, or reputational risks.

Geopolitical Analysis: The Rescor Open-Source Security monitoring team monitors geopolitical events and news that may impact an organization's security posture, especially for global organizations or those with international interests.

Privacy Considerations: Organizations must be mindful of privacy and legal considerations when collecting and using open-source intelligence, especially if personal or sensitive data is involved.

RESCOR’S OSINT team will work with project stakeholders to create a custom package that will:

Develop a clear and comprehensive OSINT strategy: Help clients develop a clear and comprehensive OSINT strategy that outlines the objectives, goals, and priorities of their OSINT efforts, as well as the specific sources, techniques, and tools that will be used.

Follow legal and ethical guidelines: Help clients ensure that their OSINT efforts follow relevant legal and ethical guidelines, such as privacy laws and regulations.

Use a variety of sources and techniques: Help clients use a variety of sources and methods to gather OSINT, including social media, news articles, public records, and government reports, as well as advanced analytical techniques, such as natural language processing and machine learning.

Ensure the quality and reliability of OSINT: Rescor will take steps to ensure the quality and reliability of their OSINT, such as verifying the accuracy and credibility of sources and conducting regular assessments of their OSINT processes and practices.

Protect the confidentiality and integrity of OSINT: Rescor will implement appropriate measures to protect the privacy and integrity of their OSINT, such as encrypting data, securing access to systems and networks, and regularly backing up data.
