Case Study: NATO Uncovers Disinformation Campaigns with Maltego

NATO uncovers disinformation faster with Maltego, cutting days of manual investigation

NATO faced the challenge of investigating and attributing a sophisticated disinformation campaign, known as "Ghostwriter," which sought to discredit the alliance in certain member states. This Kremlin-backed operation used tactics like hacking news outlets and publishing fake content, making manual investigation an arduous process. To counter this, NATO utilized Maltego's investigative platform.

Maltego provided a solution by dramatically speeding up the data gathering and analysis process. Its graphical link-analysis capabilities and numerous data integrations, including Silobreaker and Orbis, allowed analysts to pivot between different data types and sources to uncover the groups behind the campaign. The use of Maltego greatly reduced investigation time, turning a process that would normally take several days into a much more efficient operation.
