What is Trapwire?
mage from: wikipedia.com
What is Trapwire? Trapwire is described on their website as this: “TrapWire enables clients to protect their people, facilities and assets in a highly innovative and effective manner. Put succinctly, our technologies enable you to detect threats in the planning stages, thereby giving you a significant advantage over the groups and individuals targeting you. First deployed in 2006, TrapWire’s threat intelligence system is now used by federal, state and local law enforcement; the US military; schools and other educational institutions; and private sector security organizations at thousands of locations in the US and abroad. These organizations have successfully leveraged TrapWire in multiple roles, from tracking criminal organizations to interdicting human and narcotics trafficking; from counterterrorism to counterintelligence; from border security to protecting critical infrastructure.”
In essence it is a software program used to monitor and surveil very large groups of people simultaneously. If there was ever a technology a surveillance state would want it would be this. Although it is advertised as a means to maintain security for property, business, and schools. It is easy to see the intended market application is for the military, government, law enforcement agencies, and private security firms.
Trapwire states on its website this is "surveillance detection extends beyond counter-terrorism." Also, a little deeper down, a statement reads; " Cyber Attacks and Social Engineering: Hackers Target People not Just Systems." This is quite an intriguing statement to lump cyber attacks in with social engineering, The definition of social engineering from lexico.com is this, for information security it is "the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes." While it is generally defined as "The use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and regulate the future development and behavior of a society."
The use of the same terminology in two seemingly different ways but are they really. Social engineering by central planning, which is done by the government, to manage social change and regulate the behavior of society. Now why cant the government or big tech companies utilize and perpetrate social engineering upon the citizenry by using deception to manipulate individuals to divulge confidential information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. It seems they are one and the same. One is done physically through the education systems, large corporations code of conduct policies and the like, and propaganda by the MSM. While quite possibly the personal information individuals give out on the internet could be gained out of the deception by tech companies and reasonably by government entities, falsely stating the users privacy and security of their data as being a top priority, when in truth it is not.
Seek truth, question everything.
