Digital Shadows Collection Plan
1. SearchLight: Direction and Planning
Of all the stages in the intelligence cycle, it can be
tempting to focus on collection. How wide is the
source coverage? How many languages are used?
While Collection is an important step in the
intelligence cycle, the Direction and Planning stage
must precede it.
At the Direction and Planning stage, we determine
the requirements and needs of our clients. These
defined goals enable us to provide intelligence rather
than merely information. Digital Shadows’ Collection
Plan is comprised of strategic company concerns and
more detailed priority requirements.
By having a rigorous approach at this stage, it enables
us to provide our clients with intelligence that is
relevant to their threat model and aligns with both
their concerns and priorities.
