Blackdot Solutions, the UK-based creators of leading investigations software, have announced the launch of the newest version of their OSINT solution, Videris. Used across government, law enforcement and financial services, Videris allows analysts and investigators to understand and mitigate complex risks and threats more effectively. Videris 5 will continue the company’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that organisations can harness the power of open source intelligence to reduce risk.

Videris unlocks key insights in seconds, not hours, and is used across a range of investigations types, including anti financial crime, counter terrorism and serious and organised crime. Providing a single pane of glass for analysts and investigators to collect, analyse and report on open source intelligence efficiently and effectively, Videris consolidates a large number of data sources and offers innovative technology features to streamline investigations.

Designed with future OSINT trends and challenges in mind, Videris 5 will help its users stay at the top of their field. With an increased demand for OSINT skills and ever-expanding volumes of internet data, OSINT practitioners are already facing a growing workload. Videris 5 will help them overcome this by increasing efficiency through enhanced automation and explainable AI. This will place them directly at the heart of the investigation and cut out the manual, time-consuming and tedious tasks which pose a barrier to fast, efficient and effective investigations.

Videris 5 also builds upon the solution’s existing strengths, in opening up new possibilities and helping investigators unlock more insights, faster. An updated UI will ensure an intuitive and user-friendly experience, and investigators will be able to benefit from the same range of quality data sources, but with an expanded ability to integrate their own using open APIs. Videris’ world-leading visualisation tools will also be upgraded, with reimagined timelines and maps giving users even more choice when it comes to analysing important case information.

Stuart Clarke, Head of Product at Blackdot Solutions said, “We are delighted to be launching Videris 5. Our teams have been working closely with investigators to understand their needs and develop a product that will enhance their operations by easing specific pain points. We are confident that Videris 5 will automate key investigative workflows and that its new features will help investigators unlock more insights, faster. Videris has always been an innovative, industry-leading product, but we are really excited for Videris 5 to set a new standard for investigative analytics in the market.”
