Off-line and on-line worlds have become enmeshed and inseparable. Social media has transformed the risk landscape, creating new routes for malicious attacks and a dynamic environment in which ever-evolving opinions and behaviours present hazards to reputational capital. We call this new reality HYBRID risk, which we reveal through a novel fusion of SOCMINT and Open Source Intelligence and our own risk assessment methodology. Managing risk effectively means understanding both the drivers and manifestations of hybrid risk, and having the capabilities to intervene earlier with a wider range and combination of tools than conventional responses allow. We call this HYBRID response, a new standard for monitoring, predicting and mitigating risk in the social media age. 3D: DYNAMIC DUE DILIGENCE Buy and Sell side M&amp;A ESG Portfolio risk monitoring Investigation support 3D significantly improves the understanding and assessment of risks emanating from the digital realm, providing a new standard in due diligence. The explosion of social media has made the risk environment ever more fluid. Attitudes towards conduct, a sector or business can shift more rapidly than ever before and to a greater degree. At the same time, with an increasing proportion of our lives lived on-line, it is vital to understand digital dynamics and how they influence behaviours. Elninio’s industry leading social media intelligence technology allows us to identify issues, narratives, and networks online that remain hidden to traditional moment-in-time checks. 3D monitoring can help clients understand how the risk landscape is evolving in real time, whether that is over the timeframe of a deal or the lifespan of a portfolio. With ever growing regulatory and reporting requirements on businesses, 3D can enhance existing DD, KYC or support investigations by providing a sophisticated SOCMINT capability that can collect and analyse data from hard-to-reach parts of the web. SEE MORE COUNTER DISINFORMATION UK's most advanced Social Media Intelligence tools Detection and monitoring of disinformation, deception, and illicit influence operations Adversary analysis and insight&nbsp; Hybrid management of digital risk Resilience against narrative cyber-attacks Companies are now operating in an information battlespace, whether they know it or not. Few businesses are geared to spot or respond to disinformation and other hostile actions, which have the power to cause significant damage to a company's reputation, value, and business interests. While information has long been part of interstate war, the idea of information as a distinct theatre of war – a space where war takes place – is relatively new. Today, information warfare techniques such as deception, disinformation, and illicit influence operations have spilled out into the corporate world. Our counter-disinformation service protects your reputation, brand profile, and authenticity from malicious activity online. Leveraging the UK's most advanced Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) capability, we can detect, monitor, and disrupt malicious activity through a set of hybrid responses, and help clients achieve the information advantage they need to thrive. SEE MORE HYBRID RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Radar: Environmental Scanning, Monitoring and Early Warning Risk audit and mapping Issue and Crisis management Hybrid strategy development and implementation Stakeholder and Investor engagement Elninio can help navigate an ever more volatile risk environment by helping understand, protect and grow reputational capital. Changing beliefs and expectations have always given rise to reputation risk, but online narratives, networks and actors have greatly accelerated and amplified the speed, extent and impact of these changes. Few businesses geared up to spot or respond to these fluctuations. Budgets and efforts are usually directed at managing threats to reputation when they have already materialised, when it is often too late to limit the damage. Elninio can spot the signals in the big data noise and understand the deep currents of opinion online. Our early warning radar means we can deploy responses at a far earlier stage – and manage the risk, not the crisis. Our tech informs our risk mapping and auditing to illuminate the factors that put value at risk, and reveal what is being said about you, by whom, and why. SEE MORE INTELLIGENT CAMPAIGNS Crisis communications Strategic communications Political engagement Media relations Behaviour change Social Media dynamics have profoundly changed how opinion forms and evolves. The permeability of the digital and ‘real’ world means that effective influence campaigns need to bridge the two. Our intelligent campaigns approach deploys our cutting-edge Social Media Intelligence technology to target interventions in the digital and real world, blending traditional and digital disciplines. We fuse data-driven threat analysis with human-driven structured analytical methods to identify the specific actors, networks, and issues affecting our clients. Our artificial intelligence capability and skills in data science are matched with our expertise in strategic communications, behaviour change, and political and security risk management to help clients build reputational capital, influence, and resilience. Elninio’s capability is designed to detect, assess, and respond to risks presented by activity and narratives in the fast-moving and ever-evolving information landscape. These risks emanate online but cause real-world damage to clients’ reputations and interests. SEE MORE TARGETING AND EVALUATION Targeted Audience Analysis Bursting epistemic bubbles Illicit influence detection Network mapping and analysis Monitoring Campaign evaluation We believe Elninio delivers a completely new standard in campaign targeting and evaluation, by using SOCMINT to reveal how information is received and opinion is formed online. In the age of Social Media the gatekeepers who have traditionally filtered information are increasingly marginalised. Epistemic bubbles (information networks which are exposed only to a limited range of sources or argument, often unintentionally), and echo chambers (where voices are actively excluded and discredited), have replaced them. Conventional campaigns often inflate epistemic bubbles and amplify echo chambers, giving the impression of wide engagement but just expanded the confines of a bubble, never breaking through. Epistemic bubbles restrict people's ability to acquire knowledge, and they can also indicate illicit influence and manipulation. Elninio’s tech can identify and map these bubbles, and help you target your campaign, with intelligence-driven insights. We can monitor and evaluate who is receiving your message, and what impact it has had on online narratives and whether it has cut through epistemic bubbles. With Elninio you know whether you are truly hitting the target and influencing the debate. SEE MORE SEE OUR PEOPLE OUR SOLUTIONS Hybrid risks require a hybrid response.

El Niño is a climate pattern in the natural world that emanates from the depths of the Pacific Ocean to create profound and global impacts on the environment above. A similar phenomenon is affecting human society in the digital age. Fundamental disruptions are causing information and narratives to swirl around populations in entirely new ways. Digital currents are reshaping security, business and investment landscapes. They have the power to damage reputations, erode trust, and threaten the value of brands, assets, and portfolios. Truth itself is contested. ONLINE RISK RISK RESPONSES Managing risk in the social media age requires a hybrid response that combines leading-edge Social Media Intelligence tradecraft with complex risk management, communications, and behaviour change. ONLINE RISK HYBRID RESPONSE We are Elninio VALUES Elninio was formed to help clients operate safely and with confidence in a changing risk environment. We want to solve problems arising from information warfare, not contribute to them. The values we believe in are the principles we live by, and the criteria by which we select clients and projects. Professionalism: We adhere to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct. Integrity: We are open with clients about what we do and how we do it. Decency: We treat everyone with respect, no matter what. Society: We refuse to contribute to any endeavour that wilfully stokes tension or exploits polarisation.
