The 70/20/10 learning model provides a practical framework for developing practitioners—investigators, analysts, and first responders—through experience, relationships, and formal training, essential for building resilient operational capability.

Ransomware is now a mature criminal ecosystem defined by repeatable, high-return attack chains. Supply chain exploitation, credential harvesting, and recycling scams are reshaping threat dynamics across critical infrastructure, healthcare, and financial services.

AI enables intelligence agencies to analyze data at unprecedented scale and anticipate threats. But the same technology is being weaponized by bad actors for disinformation, cyberattacks, and operational advantage.

National security agencies must anticipate and neutralize threats by gathering and analyzing intelligence from diverse sources, converting raw data into actionable insights that prevent crises before they occur.

Criminal gangs no longer operate solely on streets. They've weaponized encrypted apps, social media, and crypto to scale drug trafficking, extortion, human trafficking, and fraud across borders with minimal physical presence.

Knowledge graph software transforms law enforcement by converting scattered data into actionable intelligence, revealing hidden connections that would otherwise remain buried across fragmented systems.

Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a sophisticated technology that detects subtle changes in blood volume beneath your skin, enabling measurement of heart rate and physiological responses through video analysis.

Functioning capability is the backbone of any successful organisation, and three essential elements underpin it: Skilled people, good instructions, and appropriate tools.

The relationship between investigations and intelligence is inherently interconnected, with each complementing and enhancing the other.

The dimensions of scale, complexity, risk and time pose tremendous challenges for government and private entities conducting investigations and intelligence operations.
