Special Operations Association of America’s Post

As we stand at the beginning of 2024, let us reflect on how the past year has demonstrated resilience and innovation of the human spirit, as we witnessed remarkable events in #Intelligence, #LawEnforcement, #CounterTerrorism, and #Cybersecurity. 2023 was a year full of successes, groundbreaking technological developments, and important steps in preserving our digital landscape. This year also marked the remarkable entry of advanced #artificialintelligence into the public sector, revolutionizing the way we approach our daily lives. However, these tools have not only enhanced our capabilities but have presented new challenges and concerns that we need to address with honesty, collaboration, and without prejudice. As we enter the New Year, we must be equipped with abundant optimism, embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead, and collaborate for a safer, more connected world with determination and a shared vision. I wish you all a #HappyNewYear2024! May it be a year of #growth, #prosperity, and #peace.

The UN released a report titled "Beneath the Surface: Terrorist and Violent Extremist use of the Dark Web and Cybercrime-as-a-Service for Cyber-Attacks," exploring the link between terrorism, violent extremism, and cybercrime. It reveals how terrorist groups use the dark web to access tools and services, facilitating complex cyber-attacks. The report, a collaboration between UNICRI and UNOCT, calls for enhanced investigative capabilities and international cooperation. *Webz.io* significantly contributed by providing data collection tools and expert insights, aiding in understanding the methodologies of threat actors in the dark web and cybercrime underground.

We are proud to support UNICRI - United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism and UNICRI - United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute in creating their new report “Beneath the Surface: Terrorist and Violent Extremist Use of the Dark Web and Cybercrime-as-a-Service for Cyber-Attacks.” Read it here >> https://lnkd.in/eE_3zMPD The report includes relevant data about terrorism and violent extremism on the dark web taken from our Cyber API and dark web platform, Lunar and features information about popular dark web forums taken from our Dark Web Pulse (check the first comment for the link). #DarkWebMonitoring #CyberSecurity #ThreatIntelligence #DarkWebData #WebIntelligence

Huge thanks to Jake Deadman for coming along to our #CPD and #SCaN Training event in Leeds last week, and for writing this excellent summary for CT Insight, capturing the event and, in particular, the presentation given by Crowdguard's Counter Terrorism & Risk Director, Russ Phillips. Russ's presentation and the #CTInsight article both draw attention to the fact that #HVM is not just a physical product, but also a plan, a set of physical measures and processes, – all designed to buy time in the event of an incident so that evacuation, lockdown, or 'Run, Hide, Tell' strategies can be implemented. If you were able to join us, we hope you found it useful. If you weren't, take a look at the article for an insight into some of the content from the day, and keep an eye out for news of more talks from Russ and Iain Moran coming up over the next few weeks. #protectinginpartnership #security #counterterrorism #crowdguard https://lnkd.in/exmRkC9S
