The IndependINT Story
IndependINT came into existence in 2018 as a space for Jack and Brendon to explore the idea of using an intelligence approach to solve real world problems. As a duo we've achieved more than either of us could as individuals - Brendon taught Jack how to think like an intelligence analyst, and Jack taught Brendon how to approach problems with data as a first-class citizen. Over the intervening years, we've come up with a number of prototypes and approaches which are now ready for the next phase of development.
Training
IndependINT delivers intelligence training tailored to modern security challenges. Whether you need standardised training packages or customised programs for your organisation, our experienced instructors provide hands-on learning experiences in intelligence theory and practical skills.
Data Services
At IndependINT we specialise in data-driven intelligence analysis. Our in-house team can analyse your security data to assess your defensive posture, highlight risks, and perform behavioural analytics. We also have experience optimising operational processes through cutting-edge statistical methods.
Projects and Prototyping
Our driving passion is using intelligence methodologies to develop solutions to tomorrow's problems. The IndependINT approach favours open source over proprietary, distributed over centralised, cheap over expensive, software over hardware. Fundamentally, everything is a data problem.
