About Fivecast
Fivecast provides an open-source intelligence platform that helps intelligence teams find important signals in large amounts of online data. The company sells to government agencies, police departments, defence and national security organisations, financial crime units, corporate security teams, and insurers. Its technology is designed to uncover risks before they become serious problems. The platform uses artificial intelligence to collect and analyse data from social media, news, the dark web, leaks, and company records. It offers continuous, near-real-time monitoring rather than relying on old data snapshots. Fivecast says its tools support tasks such as threat detection, identity resolution, and network mapping. The company was founded in Australia to fight terrorism and now serves global security and intelligence missions.
