Archer Knox — Intelligence-Led Security Operations
Archer Knox Security Archer Knox Security

Threat Intelligence

Intelligence that explains who, what, and why before it becomes a crisis.

Most teams see fragments: a threat, a rumor, a vague concern. Our threat intelligence program consolidates those fragments into a single operational picture—anchored to people, infrastructure, and timelines.

The objective is not a firehose. It is a curated stream of reporting that counsel, security, and leadership can act on without guesswork—and defend later if their decisions are scrutinized.

Everything on this page is illustrative and interactive. No data is transmitted when you click; it’s designed to help you think through how a live program would look against your own risk surface.

How the program actually runs

Threat intelligence is not one thing. It cycles between quiet monitoring, investigation when something looks wrong, and structured briefings when leadership needs a view. Switch modes to see how the emphasis changes.

Monitoring mode

Signals are observed, triaged, and suppressed or escalated.

In this mode, the program scans for changes around executives, key staff, facilities, and digital surface. Most items die here: they’re logged as low-significance and never reach leadership.

  • Collection tuned to your people, locations, sectors, and adversary profiles.
  • Noise suppression rules reduce fatigue and keep analysts focused.
  • Alerting tied to thresholds that actually matter for legal and security.

Investigation mode

A signal crosses a line; we treat it like a case.

Some signals warrant more than a note. Investigation mode means we pivot from “watching” to building a dossier: identity, behavior, risk factors, and intent.

  • Attribution work on accounts, handles, or entities behind a threat.
  • Timeline reconstruction: what the subject has done and when.
  • Preservation of evidence so legal can act without losing context.
How this ties into operations

Briefing mode

The story has to be told clearly and defensibly.

Briefings turn weeks or months of monitoring and investigation into a coherent narrative: what we see, what it means, and what we recommend.

  • Executive summaries written for busy, non-technical leaders.
  • Appendices with sourcing detail that can be pulled into pleadings.
  • Explicit linkages to controls and playbooks for next actions.

Low — Sector Regulatory / Trend

Emerging regulatory commentary suggesting tighter expectations around duty of care for executives experiencing targeted harassment and stalking.

30-day outlook Context for legal strategy

Sketch your collection plan

Choose what you care about most and we’ll outline a notional collection focus. In practice this becomes a living document aligned with your actual people, facilities, and legal constraints.

This widget doesn’t persist anything; it simply recomposes the text on the right to show how a more formal collection plan might read.

Baseline collection posture

Executives Facilities Digital surface

Default posture: focus on named executives and public-facing leaders, core offices and campuses, and the organization’s exposed digital surface. Signals are triaged for threat, harassment, brand abuse, and early indicators of physical disruption.

From signal to documented response

At maturity, the path from “we saw something” to “we responded and can prove it” is traceable. This is roughly what that lifecycle looks like inside an Archer Knox program.

1. Detection

Signal observed

A pattern, post, incident, or report appears in the stream. The system tags it by source, affected asset, and risk indicators. Most items end here as low-impact noise.

2. Triage

Risk and relevance

Analysts assess threat, intent, and capability, cross-referencing with existing entities and cases. A small subset is escalated toward investigation or immediate operational action.

3. Investigation

Dossier and timeline

For escalated items, we enrich with identity work, historical behavior, and related incidents. Evidence is preserved in a way that legal and HR can leverage later.

4. Briefing & Response

Decisions and actions

Findings are packaged into briefings and mapped to specific playbooks. Operations executes, and the story— what we knew, when, and what we did—is captured for future scrutiny.
