FAQs

What types of relationships can Investigate analyze?

Investigate analyzes relationships between people, digital identities, accounts, infrastructure, and other entities surfaced through OSINT data. This includes direct and indirect connections that help investigators understand how entities relate across sources.

How does Investigate use OSINT data for link analysis?

Investigate uses OSINT data collected through Horizon® to automatically create and visualize connections between related data points. These relationships are derived from publicly available information and presented in a structured, visual format.

Can Investigate combine data from multiple investigations?

Yes. Investigate allows investigators to build and expand networks over time by incorporating data from multiple searches or investigations, helping identify recurring patterns and cross case connections.

How customizable are Investigate visualizations?

Investigate visualizations can be adjusted to suit different investigative needs. Investigators can change layouts, focus areas, and levels of detail to better understand complex networks and highlight relevant relationships.

How does Investigate help identify hidden or indirect connections?

By correlating data across multiple OSINT sources, Investigate reveals indirect links and shared attributes that may not be obvious when reviewing individual data points in isolation.

Can Investigate be used alongside Identity and Horizon Monitor®?

Yes. Investigate is designed to work seamlessly with Identity and Horizon Monitor® within Horizon®. Identity results can feed into Investigate for deeper analysis, and Horizon Monitor® can provide ongoing context to existing networks.

How does Investigate support collaboration and reporting?

Investigate supports exporting visualizations and findings to assist with reporting and collaboration. This allows teams to share investigative insights while preserving context and clarity.

What makes Investigate different from standalone link analysis tools?

Unlike standalone tools, Investigate is part of an integrated OSINT platform. It combines data collection, correlation, visualization, and workflow continuity in a single environment designed specifically for investigations.
