Threat Intelligence Gathering Services

Threat intelligence gathering services play a critical role in the reputation management of executives and politicians facing online slander and defamation. The digital world can be cut-throat, and social media affords the opportunity for bad actors to defame prominent executives and senior leaders behind the anonymity of the internet. While some instances of digital harassment are better left ignored, ongoing targeted slander campaigns can shape public opinion, hurt your reputation, and turn entire workforces against you. Intel gathering is a critical part of addressing online defamation, protecting the reputation of senior leaders, and bringing an end to digital slander.

AFIMAC prides itself on its incredible social listening tools that can help identify the sources of digital slander and collect intelligence on behalf of an organization. Many of the intelligence-gathering tools used by AFIMAC are completely discreet, inspired by the long-standing workplace investigative tools used in corporate investigations. When executives and politicians need to get to the bottom of recent acts of slander or digital harassment, AFIMAC is your partner in bringing these issues to a swift and efficient end.

Online Defamation and Digital Slander

Politicians seeking reelection or corporations in the midst of becoming publicly traded are especially vulnerable to digital slander and defamation. When bad actors take to social media, false narratives can be planted in an online community and investor groups to influence public opinion. When these campaigns are left unchecked, they can sway the results of an election or even harm a company’s stock price. Both money and reputation are at stake when online slander gets out of control.

When bad actors hide behind anonymous social accounts to plant narratives that are simply untrue, their efforts are likely to paint a specific individual or company in a negative light. With AFIMAC’s social listening tools, our specialists can gather information, identify the source of such slander, and help your corporation build a legal case with the fair and unbiased gathering of evidence. Identify the individuals hurting your business or political campaign and hold them accountable with tools that tap into online conversations and pinpoint their root causes.

Predicting Threats and Risks to Your Business

When mass layoffs are a necessary part of business in 2023, the threats against your workplace are often detailed online on public social platforms. Disgruntled workers often have a tendency to voice their frustrations online, sometimes slandering managers, executives, and the brand itself. AFIMAC can work quickly to gather intelligence and inform senior leaders if there are any risks facing workers and your job site.

Threats of violence against a corporation are often discussed online. At times, recently laid-off workers may choose to return to the workplace to indulge in violence or even target the homes of specific managers. Social listening and intelligence-gathering tools from AFIMAC can quickly inform stakeholders when there is a serious threat. Active shooter scenarios, threats against executives’ homes, and planned picketing can be predicted, helping organizations save precious moments to protect people and property.
