About Social Links
Social Links provides open-source intelligence (OSINT) software and services. Its tools help users gather and analyse data from public, deep and dark web sources. The company sells to law enforcement, government agencies, cybersecurity teams, corporate security, private investigators, and businesses in sectors such as banking, consulting, logistics and retail. It also works with system integrators and software developers. The main difference is the range of sources and extraction methods. Social Links says its platform covers over 850 sources and uses more than 1700 search methods. Users can search by face, name, phone, email or alias. Data can be pulled from social media, messengers, blockchains, corporate registries and dark web marketplaces. The company offers an all-in-one investigation platform, an API for integration into existing systems, and an on-premise option. It also provides training and certification.
