The Department of the Interior's open-source intelligence approach to social networking

1. Identify monitoring objects

Follow (follow, subscribe) is the basic method to obtain dynamic information of target (individual or institutional user) on social network. Following people on social networks such as Faeebook, Twitter and Youtube can provide information about their interactions with others. Knowlesys Intelligence System can collect and integrate data to observe the target's interaction with others and further map its social network.

2. Information collection

When the Department of the Interior has a more specific subject matter for intelligence. You can manually search the social network's own search engine by keyword. On social networking platforms where the search function is not designed in a conventional way, multiple search engines can be used.

Knowlesys Intelligence System (click here to learn more) has launched a Social media-specific search engine to help the Omani Ministry of Interior quickly access information on Social Media. Faced with a flood of information on social media, ordinary search engines such as Google cannot find the dark Web and can collect information.

3. Build a network

With the interactive function of social network, intelligence can be obtained through interpersonal communication by directly making friends with target users or joining corresponding groups in social network.

When using social network platform to build interpersonal intelligence network, functions of different types of social network platform can be combined. Linkedin, for example, is an authentic professional identity communication platform for professionals around the world. Therefore, Linke-DIN can help intelligence workers accurately select the right people to follow, and then track them on Facebook or Twitter, or even gather intelligence through interaction.
