Countering adversarial organisations

Adversarial organisations encompass a wide range of groups including violent extremists, armed militia, human traffickers and drug cartels. Together, they present a rapidly growing threat to online safety, exploiting the digital space to recruit and coordinate real-world harm at scale.

From digital realm to real-world risk

Adversarial organisations try to evade detection by evolving how they operate, including methods of communication. Previously threat actors used code words and veiled phrases – known as leetspeak – when organising real world harm. But after detection techniques caught on to coded online language, groups turned to emojis to imply harm – as seen during the Brazilian insurrection in 2023. Inevitably, adversarial tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) will soon evolve again.

By tracking threats over time, we can anticipate future tactics and activities, weakening the real-world impact of adversarial groups. This improves citizens’ safety and the integrity of legitimate organisations around the world.
