Project Goals
HOPLITE builds on previous EU-funded results to provide Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and Judicial Authorities (JAs) with an intuitive platform for launching OSINT campaigns, receiving threshold-level incident alerts, and exchanging threat intelligence with trusted partners.
The project builds on results from several EU-funded initiatives and adds value through technical development and adaptation of existing tools to analyse relevant data sources.
Foundation
The project will build on results from several EU funded initiatives while at the same time add value to existing results through technical development. The solution will be based on Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) and the Analysis Information Leak (AIL), which were developed under the Connecting Europe Facility, Telecom Grants 2014-2020.
Supporting projects
Enhanced versions of MISP and AIL are complemented by AI tooling from open-source solutions and EU-funded projects such as INSPECTr and outputs from the FREETOOL project.
Desired outcomes
Enhance workflow between data gathering from AIL and reporting of actionable intelligence on platforms such as MISP.
Provide actionable intelligence in near real-time for law enforcement analysts, investigators, and Judicial Authorities, through deployment and development of new AIL components and AI and non-AI analysers.
Goals
Reduce the volume of media that an analyst must manually process, when presented with alerts about AIL keyword hits on targeted input streams.
Enhance AIL to identify threats within media (images, videos, and audio). Improve alert quality and reduce false positives and missed alerts.
Additional outcomes
While the project initially serves law enforcement requirements, a strong MISP community already exists. Enhancements to AIL can benefit broader users, increasing cyber threat reporting between the private sector and law enforcement, and increasing adoption of MISP by LEAs.
HOPLITE supports operational workflows for law enforcement and judicial stakeholders.
