Why Traditional CI Programs Fall Short

Foreign intelligence services and insider threats have evolved. Traditional periodic investigations and siloed security tools cannot detect sophisticated, long-term targeting campaigns or subtle behavioral indicators of compromise.

Traditional Approach

Periodic, siloed, reactive

  • Periodic background checks every 5-10 years
  • Siloed security tools with no correlation
  • Manual analysis requiring large investigator teams
  • Reactive response after damage is done
  • No visibility into foreign targeting campaigns
  • Behavioral indicators missed across systems
  • High false positive rates overwhelming analysts
  • No integration with travel or cyber intel
  • Inconsistent risk assessments across personnel
  • Cannot scale to monitor all cleared personnel

OBSIDIAN Approach

Continuous, correlated, proactive

  • Continuous vetting with real-time updates
  • Multi-signal correlation across all data sources
  • AI-powered analysis scaling to any population
  • Proactive detection before compromise occurs
  • Foreign Intelligence Service targeting detection
  • Cross-system behavioral pattern recognition
  • Context-aware scoring reducing false positives by 90%
  • Deep integration with PATHWAY, LUCID, STRATUM
  • Algorithmic scoring for consistent treatment
  • Autonomous monitoring of entire workforce

Four Critical Security Areas

OBSIDIAN provides specialized detection capabilities across four critical protection domains— each with tailored indicators, visual detection workflows, and automated response actions.

Three Pillars of Threat Detection

OBSIDIAN operates through three integrated capabilities that work together to provide comprehensive counterintelligence and insider threat protection.

01

Behavioral Analytics

Multi-Signal Anomaly Detection

Machine learning models analyze behavioral patterns across digital activity, physical access, travel, communications, and work patterns to identify deviations that indicate potential threats.

  • Digital activity anomaly detection
  • Physical access pattern analysis
  • Communication behavior monitoring
  • Work pattern deviation alerts
  • Cross-system correlation
  • Baseline establishment and drift detection
90% False positive reduction vs. rule-based
02

Continuous Vetting

Real-Time Background Monitoring

Replace periodic reinvestigations with continuous background monitoring that automatically detects adverse information, foreign influence indicators, financial stress, and legal issues in real-time.

  • Sanctions and watchlist screening
  • Adverse media monitoring
  • Financial stress indicator detection
  • Foreign influence flags
  • Legal and court record monitoring
  • Dynamic clearance risk assessment
24/7 Continuous monitoring vs. 5-year cycles
03

Foreign Targeting Detection

FIS Activity & Campaign Analysis

Identify foreign intelligence service targeting campaigns, recruitment attempts, and elicitation activities through correlation of external threat intelligence with internal personnel indicators and travel patterns.

  • FIS targeting campaign identification
  • Elicitation and recruitment detection
  • Suspicious foreign contact flagging
  • High-risk travel correlation
  • External threat intelligence fusion
  • Technology transfer attempt detection
85% Earlier detection of targeting

End-to-End Threat Detection Flow

From data collection to case initiation, OBSIDIAN automates the entire counterintelligence and insider threat detection workflow with intelligent correlation and prioritization.

Intelligence-Grade CI Capabilities

Every feature designed to detect threats earlier while reducing analyst workload and ensuring compliance with security regulations.

Cross-Signal Correlation

Automatically correlate indicators across digital, physical, travel, financial, and external sources to identify complex threat patterns invisible to single-source analysis.

AI Risk Scoring

Contextual risk scoring that considers role sensitivity, access levels, and organizational context to prioritize genuine threats and reduce false positive rates by 90%.

Population Monitoring

Scale continuous vetting and behavioral monitoring to entire cleared populations without increasing investigator headcount or manual review burden.

Baseline Modeling

Establish behavioral baselines for individuals and peer groups, automatically detecting meaningful deviations while filtering routine variations.

FORGE Case Integration

Automatically initiate FORGE cases when risk thresholds are exceeded, with complete evidence packages, timelines, and recommended investigative actions.

Compliance Reporting

Generate compliance reports for NISPOM, ICD 704, and other regulatory requirements with complete audit trails of all monitoring and alerting activities.
