Who We Are and How We Operate

Mobile Surveillance Monitor uses geospatial analysis and visualization technologies to fuse threat information from multiple sources to enhance the collaboration and intelligence of researchers, investigators, and at-risk groups in the public interest.  The project provides threat indications to "connect the dots" and reveal the sources, targets, and types of mobile surveillance attacks used by repressive nations and bad actors.

Mobile Surveillance Monitor respects and protects the privacy of mobile users in its efforts to reveal mobile surveillance threats. None of the information used by this solution includes a user's phone identity, location, or communications of mobile users. The information we use is based on threat Indicators of Compromise (IOC’s) and Indicators of Attack, which are the forensic indications of targeted attacks. IOC’s are the evidence left by threat actors that an attack occurred. In essence, they are the breadcrumbs left behind from the attack. They provide warning signs so that the information in Mobile Surveillance Monitor can be measured and visualized.  The digital evidence provided by MSM reveals not only that an attack occurred, but how the threat actor conducted an attack and in many cases what they were looking for.
