"Knowledge is Power"

Sir Francis Bacon

Although the internet offers immense societal benefits including the democratization of access to information, it is also increasingly being exploited by nefarious organizations and individuals, including terrorists, foreign operatives, cyber criminals, and online trolls, to serve illicit agendas.  At an increasingly alarming rate, hidden segments of the internet have become havens for illegal activity, misinformation, disinformation, threats and fraud.  

CENTURION's organizational skill in leveraging Open-source Intelligence (OSINT), provides our clients with the ability to identify, track and predict a diverse variety of threats and risks, identity business opportunities, quantify consumer sentiment and assess competitors, enabling more informed decision-making and enhanced situational awareness.

Approximately 90% of internet content exists in the deep and dark web and is not searchable by standard search engines.  Investigators today must have the skills and resources to safely access and analyze vast volumes of unstructured data in a rapidly evolving online environment.  

OSINT best-practices and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that drives intelligence collection, must continually evolve to meet the challenges of an increasingly perilous cyber environment.

To address these challenges, CENTURION employs a sophisticated intelligence collection platform to conduct Open-Source Intelligence operations and to enhance its traditional investigative activities.

To expand our capacity and reach, CENTURION has also established strategic partnerships with state-of-the-art, full-service intelligence firms, to offer clients advanced technology-based solutions in this increasingly complex and dangerous world.

"You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you're down to your reflexes. That's where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that in the dark of the morning, well, you're going to get found out now when you're under the bright lights."
