Index Systems LLC has announced a big update of the attackindex.com service. It provides monitoring and automated determination of information threats and resonance. The request form has become more ergonomic, the layout of parts of the report can now be changed. Forecasting of the information situation now available for all requests.
While working with the service, users noted that they often work with certain parts of the report. Information operations section with hidden information processes was more popular, for example.
We rethought and developed interface to allow quick transition to any part of the report. All sections are presented like puzzles. They can be dragged with the mouse and arranged as user want. For example, you can move to the beginning parts of the report that are accessed more often.
“The concept of puzzles has appeared, a kind of grid of parts of the report, which provides a compact view of sections and an operational transition to each of them. Also, each part received more information. — comments Ellina Shnurko-Tabakova, information security expert, head of the Information Security and Cyber Defence Council and leader of the attackindex.com project. — An ergonomic graphics solution is implemented accordingly.“
According to the company, in 2022-2023, the number of monitoring sources was increase up to 45%: Telegram channels — up to 50%, sources in Ukraine and the russian federation — up to 20%. Also, indicators for analysing the information situation were added and showed at the top. 4 more sections were added to the previous 8 that were available. Additional parts make possible more broadly characterize the information activity associated with the request.
The service allows you to determine whether an information attack is being conducted, whether there has been a surge of interest in the event, which speakers are involved, what emotions about the requested topic, persons, companies or events they broadcast to the public, who initiated the information operation and how its participants are connected. You can find out how intense and large-scale information operation is, which sites and accounts on social networks are involved. One of the new characteristics is forecasting of the information situation further development. It using four linguistic and mathematical methods.
Throughout its existence since 2018, the analytical and monitoring service Attack Index (attackindex.com) has evolved both in the direction of expanding monitoring bases by connecting new websites, and by adding new analytical functions. Today’s innovations were as the results of continued scientific work, experience in preparing analytical reports for customers and high-quality feedback with users of the system.
“The attackindex.com service was created by a team consisting of representatives of technical and computer sciences, applied mathematics, media, sociology, IT and information security. That is why all modern scientific achievements, primarily our own, are quickly implemented in the Attack Index service. Ongoing research done by team members is usually converted into working models with phased implementation in an automated report. — notes Professor Dmytro Lande, scientific director of the Attack Index service, head of the Department of Information Security of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Physics and Technology of NTU KPI, Doctor of Technical Sciences. — In fact, all sections are the result of the application of classical and specific sections of linguistics and mathematics“.
Today, the service is attackindex.com used by commercial companies, military departments, international and Ukrainian organizations. The tasks solved by the service are fixing and tracking information processes, forming a system of analytical indicators, determining the stability of information situations and forecasting their development. The automated report of the Index Attacks saves time and increases the efficiency of analysts, in particular, in generating data to counter propaganda and information aggression of the russian federation.
