The Intelligence GapIsn't Information.It's Integration.
After 9/11, we built 80 fusion centers to connect the dots. We created information sharing environments. The information exists, scattered across federal feeds, state databases, local systems, commercial OSINT. What's missing isn't data. It's the ability to integrate, analyze, and act on it with the speed that threats demand.
Argus delivers enterprise-grade intelligence capabilities at accessible pricing.
We Fixed Information Sharing. We Haven't Fixed Intelligence.
The 9/11 Commission Finding
The attacks succeeded in part because agencies possessed pieces of information but didn't connect them. Ziad Jarrah received a speeding ticket two days before the attacks. He was on a CIA watchlist. The Maryland trooper who stopped him didn't know.
Twenty Years of Reform
Fusion centers in every state. Information sharing environments connecting federal, state, local, and tribal partners. Classified networks extended to non-federal facilities. The walls between intelligence and law enforcement supposedly torn down.
The Persistent Gap
Federal partners share intelligence with fusion centers, but classification restrictions mean directors can see what analysts cannot. Systems don't interoperate. OSINT exists in standalone tools. Analysts must mentally integrate what systems cannot.
Achieved
- Information sharing environments
- Classified network extension
- Fusion center network
- SAR reporting systems
Remaining Gaps
- True multi-source integration
- Automated entity resolution
- Intelligence-to-action workflows
- Quality-focused analytics
Every Source. One Interface. Real Analysis.
Intelligence work requires access to diverse sources. Argus provides a single analytical interface integrating federal, state, local, OSINT, and dark web sources.

Advanced Analytical Capabilities
Move beyond simple search. Argus provides the analytical tools required to uncover hidden connections, detect subtle patterns, and predict emerging threats.
Interactive Graph Visualization
Drag nodes to explore relationships
The Intelligence Collection Advantage
Intelligence collection has transformed from supplementary to essential. But capabilities typically exist in standalone tools. Argus integrates unlimited intelligence partners through an API-first architecture.
Social Media Monitoring
Track keywords, accounts, and networks across platforms. Configure monitoring based on threat indicators. Historical data enables retrospective analysis.
Dark Web Monitoring
Visibility into forums, marketplaces, and communication channels. Automated collection reduces analyst exposure while ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Public Records Integration
Identity verification, address history, associate networks, business relationships. Commercial data enhances entity profiles.
Operational Security
Secure collection architecture shields analyst identity. Collection activities don't reveal investigative interest.
Built for the Fusion Mission
DHS defines four Critical Operational Capabilities that fusion centers must achieve. Argus supports all four.
Receive
Secure connections accept intelligence from federal partners. Information flows into the analytical environment for correlation with state, local, and open source intelligence.
Criminal intelligence systems must comply with federal regulations. Argus supports reasonable suspicion documentation, automated retention policies, dissemination controls, and complete audit trails.
Configurable privacy controls, documentation of privacy policy compliance, and audit capabilities demonstrate appropriate handling of sensitive information.
Breaking Down the Remaining Walls
Fusion centers exist to facilitate information sharing across organizational boundaries. Sharing requires architecture that enables it.
Multi-Agency Architecture
Participating organizations maintain their own data while sharing appropriately. Information owners control sharing. The platform becomes the common operating environment.
Federal-State-Local Coordination
Bidirectional sharing across government levels. Federal partners push intelligence to state/local. State/local share upward. All documented, access-controlled, auditable.
Task Force Support
Shared workspaces, common analytical tools, coordinated case management. Task force members work from common intelligence regardless of home agency.
Private Sector Integration
Controlled information sharing with vetted private sector partners for critical infrastructure protection.
Intelligence That Drives Action
Intelligence without operational connection is academic. Argus closes the gap with workflows designed for operational integration.
Analysis to Operations
Intelligence products connect to case management. Threat assessments generate alerts. Investigative leads flow to assigned personnel. Outcomes inform refinement.
Alert Management
Emerging threats require rapid notification. Distribute threat information through configured channels. Mobile alerts reach field personnel. Escalation ensures critical intelligence reaches decision-makers.
Case Integration
Intelligence supports active investigations. Analytical capabilities integrate with case management. Intelligence flows into investigative files.
Event Support
Major events require concentrated intelligence support. Temporary workspaces, enhanced monitoring, coordination tools.
Enterprise Security for Sensitive Operations
Intelligence systems handle sensitive information requiring enterprise-grade security.
CJIS Security Policy Ready
Encryption, access controls, audit logging, background checks, network security.
FedRAMP Ready
Architecture supports FedRAMP requirements for cloud-based federal systems.
Classification Support
Architecture supports deployment on classified networks with necessary modifications for sensitive environments.
Comprehensive Audit
Every access logged. Every search recorded. Every dissemination documented.
Enterprise Intelligence Without Enterprise Pricing
The intelligence integration problem persists not because solutions don't exist, but because existing solutions price most agencies out of consideration. When a single platform contract runs into hundreds of millions, fusion centers with uncertain annual budgets cannot commit.
Argus delivers enterprise intelligence capabilities through efficient cloud architecture. Cloudflare infrastructure reduces operational costs. Multi-tenant deployment spreads platform investment.
Twenty years after 9/11, we've solved information sharing. It's time to solve intelligence integration.
We work with fusion centers of all sizes, from major urban area operations to regional centers serving multiple states. Ask about our multi-agency deployment options.
