Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) company Cobwebs Technologies is partnering with the International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators (IAHTI) to enhance human trafficking investigations.
Cobwebs will support the IAHTI mission by offering its assistance with various human trafficking cases.
Cobwebs’ web intelligence platform allows analysts to connect criminal channels from online sources to the dark web, providing a complete picture of complex illicit ecosystems often used for human trafficking purposes. Authorities can scour all levels of the internet and the various online platforms and are able to obtain precise and unrivaled web intelligence in the open and dark web in a fraction of the time it used to take.
“By integrating our investigative platform, IAHTI will gain access to valuable intelligence that will aid in identifying hidden connections, potential predators and concrete threats. Together, we aim to detect possible crimes before they happen,” Cobwebs Technologies co-founder and CEO Udi Levy said.
IAHTI’s mission is to arm law enforcement officers, prosecutors and intelligence analysts around the world with the training, technical support and resources they need to identify and rescue victims and prosecute their traffickers. Since 2009, IAHTI has provided victim-centered training for thousands of investigators in more than 64 countries and two U.S. Territories, with those numbers growing every year.
“Cobwebs is a game changer for human trafficking, crimes against persons and organized crime investigations. This technology can help agencies potentially identify and locate missing and exploited persons,” said Jeremy Lewis, President and founding member of the IAHTI.
IAHTI is a not-for-profit organization providing education and insight into human trafficking.
Founded in 2015, US-based Cobwebs Technologies provides and implements Web Intelligence (WEBINT) solutions for the operational needs of national security agencies and the private sector.
In January, Cobwebs Technology announced that it is providing All Things Possible (ATP), a group seeking to identify and help victims of human trafficking, with access to its Tangles platform for investigations and for use during the sixth edition of the Skull Games event.
