Multi-Domain Threat Detection: Expanding the CDFC Platform with OSINT and Cross-Domain Intelligence Correlation
FY 2026-27 · 2026-04-01
Summary
The Phase 2 of Beaufort's Cyber Defence Fusion Centre (CDFC) platform builds directly on a TRL 5 prototype by adding OSINT to address hybrid threats. AI-driven NLP models will detect coordinated public messaging, cross-correlate signals across cyber, dark web, and public domains, and generate daily quantitative risk indicators — enabling Canadian critical infrastructure operators to identify complex threats earlier and respond with greater confidence. By completion, the Momentum Insights platform — Canada's only sovereign multi-domain threat fusion product — advances from TRL 5 to TRL 7 (pilot-ready).

Description (French)
La phase 2 de la plateforme du Centre de fusion de la cyberdéfense (CFCD) de Beaufort s'appuie directement sur un prototype de NMT 5 en y intégrant l'OSINT afin de lutter contre les menaces hybrides. Des modèles de traitement du langage naturel (TLN) basés sur l'IA détecteront les messages publics coordonnés, établiront des corrélations entre les signaux provenant du cyberespace, du Web caché et des domaines publics, et généreront des indicateurs de risque quantitatifs quotidiens — permettant ainsi aux opérateurs d'infrastructures critiques canadiennes d'identifier plus tôt les menaces complexes et d'y répondre avec davantage d'assurance. À son achèvement, la plateforme Momentum Insights — le seul produit souverain canadien de fusion des menaces multidomaines — passera du NMT 5 au NMT 7 (prêt pour la phase pilote).
