Actionable Intelligence from Internet Content
The Internet can be a valuable source of information, insights, and leads for analysts and investigators. The challenge, however, is to rapidly distill the most important and relevant intelligence from the huge volumes information that the Internet offers. Internet search engines are largely unsuited to this task.
Web surfers can leave a trail of the keywords used in a search and expose the search words, pages visited, and the searcher’s IP address to the website owner. Internet search engines often return an overwhelming number of results, without the tools to help investigators locate relevant information. They may not index newly published material for days, preventing analysts and investigators from accessing timely, important information. And Internet search engines generally cannot access “deep Web” content — that is, Internet content that is buried in dynamically generated sites.
Verint® X-TRACT® WEBINT is a secure, open source intelligence solution designed to overcome these limitations, distilling Actionable Intelligence® from Internet content for faster, more productive and effective investigations.
X-TRACT WEBINT Features
X-TRACT WEBINT transforms unstructured Internet data into structured data that can be analyzed, correlated, and used for investigative purposes.
X-TRACT WEBINT harvests and indexes information of interest, places the data in an “Intelligence Bulletin” that can be shared and stored for future use, and also indexes the Intelligence Bulletin for future search results. Further,
X-TRACT WEBINT continually searches commercial search engines to surface new websites and results, to help investigators and analysts keep up to date on rapidly changing information.
X-TRACT WEBINT features an intuitive graphical interface that lets users select the website data to be downloaded. X-TRACT WEBINT downloads website data to the organization’s database, which can be automatically updated according to a user-defined schedule. Unlike conventional Internet search engines,
X-TRACT WEBINT can access “deep Web,” including dynamic pages that are built in response to a query or other user action.
X-TRACT WEBINT also offers optional features, such as multiple language support packages and the ability to retrieve, index, and send out alerts about data from blogs, forums, and talkbacks.

X-TRACT WEBINT automatically downloads relevant data from selected websites to your organization’s database for analysis and investigation.
A Clearly Defined Workflow for Superior Results
X-TRACT WEBINT is designed by experts in Web intelligence and incorporates a clearly defined workflow and methodology that promote superior results. The workflow takes users through the investigative cycle, from defining the information that is being sought to determining search parameters and performing the search to generating alerts and managing intelligence.
Enhance Security and Reduce Exposure
X-TRACT WEBINT resides on a separate network and transmits data through a secure gateway to help ensure that each organization’s primary operations are not exposed to threats posed by the Internet. Additionally, X-TRACT WEBINT uses tools, such as a Web crawler, that are common to the Internet, so that data can be indexed and downloaded without attracting attention. Conversely, commercial search engines can place investigations at risk by exposing the identity, IP address, and search words to the owner of the website that is being harvested for data.
X-TRACT WEBINT is part of the X-TRACT solution suite, which combines the benefits of advanced data fusion technology and investigation methodology with sophisticated analytic applications to expertly guide investigations and expose new leads.
