Frequently Asked Questions
Technical & Operational Details
What is Universal Nexus Open Source Intelligence (UNOSINT)?
UNOSINT is a multi-INT collection and analysis framework that implements the full intelligence cycle: requirements definition, collection management, processing/exploitation, all-source analysis, production, and dissemination. The framework spans all intelligence domains—cyber, geospatial, financial, human, signals, health, climate—rather than focusing on a single discipline. It provides the interoperability layer connecting existing tools, standards, and data formats within a unified analytical environment.
Who develops and governs UNOSINT?
Three non-profit organizations collaborate on UNOSINT development: GCRI (Global Centre for Risk and Innovation, US/Canada) leads technical development and maintains the core repository. GRF (Global Risks Forum, Switzerland) coordinates international governance structures and policy alignment. GRA (Global Risks Alliance, US) manages institutional partnerships and deployment support. Governance decisions follow documented processes with stakeholder input mechanisms.
Is GCRI a commercial vendor?
No. GCRI is registered as a non-profit organization and operates as a system designer and integrator. GCRI does not sell intelligence products or take equity positions in commercial ventures. The organization develops open infrastructure, operates a vendor-agnostic marketplace, and provides integration services. Revenue from memberships, partnerships, and grants supports R&D and community programs. The open-source core remains freely available under permissive licensing.
How does UNOSINT relate to MISP, OpenCTI, or other TI platforms?
UNOSINT integrates with MISP, OpenCTI, TheHive, Cortex, and similar platforms through bidirectional sync connectors. These platforms provide excellent cyber threat intelligence capabilities, and UNOSINT preserves that investment while extending analytical coverage to non-cyber domains (GEOINT, FININT, HEALTHINT, SIGINT, HUMINT). The integration layer converts between data formats while maintaining entity relationships and provenance metadata.
Can UNOSINT deploy air-gapped for classified environments?
Yes. Air-gapped deployment is supported with offline installation packages containing all dependencies. The architecture separates collection components (which may require network access depending on sources) from analysis components (which operate fully isolated). Security hardening guides document configuration for classified environments. Data residency controls support sovereign requirements. FedRAMP authorization documentation is in development for US government deployments.
What is the licensing model?
The open-source core is released under a permissive license (Apache 2.0) with no usage restrictions. Enterprise deployment features, commercial feed connectors, dedicated support channels, and SLA-backed response times are available through partnership agreements. Managed service options exist for organizations preferring hosted deployment. The non-profit structure ensures the core framework remains freely available.
What capabilities exist for 5G/6G and smart city environments?
Telecom-specific collectors support RAN monitoring, core network signaling analysis (Diameter, GTP-C, SBI protocols), and spectrum characterization. Supply chain risk modules integrate SBOM data with vulnerability databases. Smart city deployments leverage MQTT/CoAP ingestion for sensor networks, SCADA/ICS protocol parsing (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850), and grid telemetry analysis. Telecom ISAC feed integration is available for subscribers.
What blockchain and DePIN capabilities are available?
On-chain analysis modules support multi-chain transaction indexing (EVM-compatible chains, Solana, Cosmos ecosystem), mempool monitoring for pending transaction intelligence, and smart contract bytecode analysis. Entity resolution employs address clustering heuristics and exchange attribution. DePIN-specific capabilities include node geographic mapping and performance anomaly detection. Data formats are compatible with outputs from commercial blockchain analytics providers (Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs).
How can institutions sponsor specific capability development?
Sponsorship agreements allocate funding to specific development priorities: bounty programs, research quests, or named capability initiatives. Sponsors receive early access to sponsored features, governance participation for roadmap input, and public attribution. Sponsored work contributes to the open-source core under the same permissive license, ensuring broad community benefit. Custom sponsorship structures can align with institutional strategic priorities and compliance requirements.
What standards does UNOSINT implement?
Native STIX/TAXII 2.1 implementation with full SDO/SRO support. MITRE framework integration: ATT&CK for adversary TTPs, D3FEND for defensive techniques, ATLAS for AI/ML threats, ENGAGE for adversary engagement, CAR for detection analytics. Bidirectional sync with MISP and OpenCTI. Detection rule formats: YARA, Sigma, Snort/Suricata. Analytic standards: ICD 203 confidence levels, NATO STANAG 2022 source grading. Vulnerability data: CVE/NVD, CVSS, EPSS, CAPEC, CWE, CISA KEV. Classification: TLP/PAP. Risk frameworks: ISO 27001, ISO 22301, Sendai Framework alignment.
