Insight Monitor Dispatches
The Tech Against Terrorism Podcast & ITI featured in Global News
Hello Insight Monitor subscribers. A quick preamble to our newsletter today: some of you might have noticed that I flagged the wrong terrorist attack in our post about terrorism in Canada. I wrote “Las Vegas” when I meant “New Orleans”. (A thoughtful reader flagged it right away and it’s been corrected in the article). Please forgive this error — it’s what happens when I edit before I’ve had my first coffee of the morning. Anyway, onto today’s newsletter…..
ITI In the News
Yesterday, we published our analysis of the rising terrorist threat in Canada. This analysis was also featured in a Global News report from Stewart Bell, which provides interesting case studies illustrating the issue. Have a read:

In other news, I was on season 4 of the Tech Against Terrorism podcast. I sat down with host Lucas Webber to talk about all things terrorist financing. Terrorist organizations need money to carry out their activities, from buying weapons to funding attacks and recruiting new members. But how do they raise, store, and transfer finances? And what lessons can counterterrorism teams learn from tracking terrorist money? We talk through it all in this episode.
Our terrorist financing analysis course caters to researchers, intelligence, law enforcement, and compliance professionals to help them learn about terrorist financing, and analyze suspicious patterns and activities more effectively. Sign up today!
Coming Soon
Next week, we have a deep dive into the use of the cryptocurrency USDT (Tether) by terrorists including case studies and an analysis of the specific vulnerabilities. We’re also back with our Global Terrorist Financing report, summarizing all the terrorist financing news worldwide. It’s a big one again this month — we had to split it into two articles!
Thanks for reading, and if you found this insightful, please share it with a friend or colleague or on social media.
