The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a public policy research organization, will utilize the Babel Street Insights platform and Insights APIs created by U.S.-based data-to-knowledge company Babel Street to support its strategic open-source research and analysis on the most critical conflict areas around the world.
Babel Street Insights will support multiple analytic teams across ISW with several focuses. Key areas of analysis conducted by ISW include daily updates on the war in Ukraine, analyzing popular sentiment in Iran and regime succession, monitoring Chinese tensions with Taiwan and public persuasion campaigns, monitoring media in the Middle East and Syria, and more.
The Babel Street Insights platform’s ability to leverage publicly available data (PAI) from foreign sources at scale provides essential global situational awareness for the ISW.
“Babel Street Insights offers unparalleled intelligence from open-source data, providing essential rapid insights into complex and dynamic situations,” ISW Founder and President Kimberly Kagan said. “The cross-lingual capabilities and AI-powered risk automation enable us to identify patterns and track volatile but often opaque areas with hyper-local situational awareness to achieve a greater understanding.”
In April, Babel Street released a redesigned version of its OSINT platform Babel Street Insights, transforming how organizations discover and decipher publicly available information (PAI), helping accelerate critical insights for companies and government agencies. Read more about this here.
“The ISW is a highly respected analysis team and think tank with unparalleled readership in open-source intelligence,” Babel Street CEO Michael Southworth said. “At Babel Street, we’ve designed our Insights platform to be powerful and user-friendly, ensuring quick adoption even in high-stakes environments. Our partnership showcases our ability to accelerate time to insights, enabling ISW to delve deeper into complex situations and communicate strategic insights effectively.”
Babel Street provides identity intelligence and risk operations platform for government and commercial organizations. The company is headquartered in the U.S. with offices near Washington, D.C., and Boston, along with Tokyo, Tel Aviv, London, Canberra, and Ottawa.
ISW is a non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization, advancing an informed understanding of military affairs through research, analysis, and education.
