NAVIGATING DIGITAL WORLD

Unparalleled solution based on a proprietary combination of AI and qualitative disinformation expertise

Problem

Online manipulation is flourishing. Malign actors are amplifying socially divisive and false narratives to: undermine trust in institutions and brands, encourage conflict, sow division in society,
Manipulated internet traffic (positioning and promoting certain types of narratives), and activity by fake social media accounts on a variety of platforms promoting discord are a major threat to public safety, institutional/ brand reputation.
On current timeframes, even when malicious activity is detected after it has gone viral, it is often too late to avoid the consequences. Reaction time is critical for managing crises, both from public safety and strategic communications perspectives.

ABTShield, using AI and human experts, identifies emerging narratives gaining traction BEFORE news stories get written. This gives the client a chance to disrupt negative narratives before they go viral, using strategic communication tools.

Versatile Monitoring

ABTShield monitors social media to identify emerging influential narratives on multiple platforms, tailored and customized for specific issues that are vulnerable targets. Identifies clusters of malign/artificial activity, networks between malign influencers, and distinguishes truly organic viral activity.

Strategy

ABTShield provides specific data to assist in determining a media/social media strategy and effectively formulating strategic communications content to combat disinformation/ malicious narratives and amplify messaging.

Social Expertise

ABTShield analyzes social reactions to news and articles (is a topic sticking and spreading in the information sphere?).
