About DigitalStakeout
Our Mission
DigitalStakeout transforms digital chaos into actionable security intelligence. We protect people and organizations from digital threats before they escalate into real-world harm through AI-powered monitoring of the complete threat landscape, delivering the intelligence security teams need to detect, investigate, and respond to emerging risks.
The Growing Threat Landscape
​
The digital world and physical world are no longer separate domains. Today's threats begin online and rapidly escalate into real-world danger:
​
Executive Targeting Has Exploded
Since 2020, threats against corporate executives have surged 178%. Today, 89% of Fortune 500 CEOs face regular online harassment that escalates to genuine physical security concerns.
​
We Have a Data Exposure Crisis
The average executive's personal data, including home addresses and family details, appears on over 287 data broker websites. Stalkers and threat actors weaponize this information to plan real-world attacks.
​
Digital-to-Physical Escalation is Real
76% of workplace violence incidents now originate with online threats or harassment. The escalation timeline is alarmingly short: just 72 hours on average from first digital threat to physical confrontation.
​
Digital Threat Indicators are Present
In 67% of active shooter incidents, perpetrators posted threatening content or concerning behavior online in the weeks before their attack. These warning signs appear primarily on social media platforms that go unmonitored.
Our Platform
​
DigitalStakeout's AI-powered platform delivers comprehensive open source intelligence (OSINT) capabilities that leading organizations worldwide rely on for their security operations. Our technology monitors millions of sources continuously, providing the actionable intelligence your team needs to stay ahead of emerging threats.
​
How It Works
Our XTI platform monitors millions of websites, social platforms, dark web forums, and data broker sites around the clock, looking for threats against you. When we identify threats, exposed personal information, or fake accounts impersonating you, our system flags them immediately for action.
​
When threats strike, we remove your personal information from data broker sites, take down fake accounts and malicious content, and alert you to serious threats requiring immediate attention. You receive real-time alerts for urgent threats and regular reports on what we're detecting and neutralizing.
