Beyond Basic OSINT: Why Discerning Security Leaders Choose DigitalStakeout Investigate Over LifeRaft Labs

Addressing Common OSINT Platform Limitations: The DigitalStakeout XTI Advantage

​

DigitalStakeout XTI is engineered to overcome the frustrating limitations of standard OSINT tools.

​

1. Limitation: Inflexible Feeds & Data Collection Limitations

​

The Challenge: You need specific intelligence feeds but are constrained by generic collection or can't reach deeper data sources, potentially missing crucial signals due to reliance on third-party OSINT kits.

​

DigitalStakeout Solution: Proprietary, Deep Collection & Unique Data Streams

​

• Proprietary Collectors: Our in-house tech actively gathers diverse web signals—unindexed forums, paste sites, Telegram, and more - bypassing third-party limitations.

• Unique Crawled DNS Data: We integrate DNS data from our Securd infrastructure, discovering websites and content in real-time. This self-collected intelligence provides an edge against emerging threats and feeds our monitoring.

• Unmatched Depth & Breadth: Gain comprehensive coverage of deep/dark web, encrypted channels, domains, and internet meta-data.

• Highly Customizable Feeds: Define precise monitoring for your unique Key Intelligence Topics (KITs/KIQs), fueled by our superior data collection.

2. Limitation: Fragmented Data Monitoring & Poor Integration

​

The Challenge: Your tools collect data but struggle to unify it for a "larger picture." Integrating with your security ecosystem or internal data is cumbersome, leading to silos and the need for numerous tools and subscriptions.

​

DigitalStakeout Solution: Real-Time, Unified Threat Intelligence​

​

• Holistic Correlation: Ingest, enrich, and analyze diverse data automatically. Correlate activity across people, infrastructure, places, internal data, and our unique web/DNS data for a complete view that other platforms struggle to provide without multiple tools.

• Easy API Integrations: Seamlessly connect Investigate with your SOAR, SIEM, or case management tools.

• End-to-End Enrichment: Every piece of data (from our collectors or your sources) is enhanced with metadata, 5M+ auto-tagged entity types, geo-enrichment, risk classification, and sentiment analysis.

​

3. Limitation: Third-Party Dependencies & Inability to Offer Robust Managed Services

​

The Challenge: Reliance on external data or infrastructure leads to gaps, disruptions, and slow adaptation. This dependency also makes it hard for vendors to confidently offer high-quality managed services on their own core technology.

​

DigitalStakeout Solution: In-House Infrastructure for Reliability, Adaptability & Confident Managed Services.

​

• Proprietary Data Infrastructure: We own and operate our collection and processing, including web signal and Securd DNS data crawling. This ensures reliability, control, and a richer dataset, free from third-party dependencies.

• Confidence in Our Tech for Managed Services: Because we build, own, and master our stack, we confidently offer comprehensive managed services (Protect & Defend plans) directly on our Investigate platform, ensuring seamless integration and expert oversight.

• Rapid Threat Adaptation: Our platform adapts to new threat surfaces in days, not months, because we control the technology.

• Advanced Digital Risk Use Cases: Our self-collected, comprehensive dataset powers digital risk use cases most OSINT tools can't offer without numerous extra subscriptions.

Why DigitalStakeout XTI Excels: Key Differentiators

​

• Built-In AI (DARIA™) for Faster Analysis: Our custom AI transforms messy, multi-format data into structured intelligence, automating NLP, sentiment detection, entity discovery, risk scoring, and more.

• Always-On Curated Threat Feeds (Powered by Our Collection): Access high-risk intelligence from breach dumps, PII exposures, CVE chatter, and 10K+ daily global risk events, enhanced by our proprietary data.

• Smarter Search & Integrated Investigation Tools: Pivot from discovery to action in one platform with specialized OSINT searches, leaked credential discovery, and in-depth domain/IP research leveraging our Securd DNS data.

• Advanced Digital Risk & OSINT Use Cases (with Optional Managed Expertise): Our comprehensive, self-collected data fuels insights unattainable with standard feeds. Because we built it, we can expertly manage it for you.

• Flexible Design for All Security Teams: Benefit from role-based access, collaborative workspaces, automation, and a modular architecture.

• Intelligent, Noise-Cutting Alerting: Receive customizable, correlated alerts via email, API, or in-app, ensuring critical signals are noticed.
