Research shows that most organizations implement DIY solutions or cocktails of discrete technologies to get analysts online. Silo for Research is a cloud-delivered platform that puts your team on the web in seconds — without added infrastructure or other up-front investments. Analysts access a virtual environment that gives them full fidelity access to the web without the risk.
Investigating publicly available information online puts your team in contact with toxic content and malicious actors. Because Silo for Research executes in the cloud, your environment is never exposed, and your identity is never revealed. All rendered content, all executable code, all access requests to sites, and all collections are performed by Silo, with your analysts interacting only with a benign remote display
Research platforms typically live outside of IT control or require exceptions to IT policies. Silo for Research provides a single, central point of policy enforcement and oversight. Policies are defined in an admin console, and all analyst actions are logged and encrypted via customer-managed keys. APIs allow you to extract encrypted audit logs for internal analysis or to respond to information requests.
Whether you are tracking events across different sites or engaging with external parties online, Silo for Research gives you the tools to spoof your location, platform attributes, language, and more. Silo never reveals your identity or your intent, regardless of the type of investigation you do - even if analysts use their home computers.
