Digital Insurgency / Hybrid Threat Identity Model
A proprietary analytical framework developed by HMSC Intelligence Division
Introduced within the April 2025 Strategic Intelligence Report, the Digital Insurgency model establishes a new conceptual foundation for identifying hybrid threat identities.
It highlights how decentralised actors - whether criminal, ideological, or insurgent - evolve under shared environmental pressures and adopt overlapping operational behaviours across digital and geopolitical theatres.
The model is a licensed analytical framework protected under trade-secret law.
Applications:
• Hybrid-threat detection and assessment
• Strategic foresight and policy analysis
• Counter-terrorism and organised-crime research
Licensing: Available to accredit institutions and vetted partners under confidentiality agreement.
Executive collaboration and analytical integration opportunities are also available.

Methodology & Ethics
Lawful and ethical OSINT practices
HMSC intelligence products are produced through a structured open-source intelligence process combining long-term monitoring, thematic analysis, and expert validation.
All research relies exclusively on publicly accessible information and adheres to strict legal and ethical standards.
Our methodology prioritises accuracy, contextual understanding, and responsible handling of sensitive material - ensuring that every assessment remains both operationally relevant and professionally compliant.
We do not access restricted areas, conduct intrusive operations, or engage directly with illicit networks.
All material is carefully sanitised to maintain compliance with professional standards and applicable law.
Convergence of Crime, Ideology & Digital Anonymity
This 66-page strategic report delivers an independent assessment of evolving hybrid-threat dynamics observed across decentralised and anonymised digital ecosystems.
It applies HMSC’s multidisciplinary research approach — combining behavioural profiling, geopolitical context, and applied threat modelling — to reveal how decentralised actors adapt and evolve in the digital age.
The report also introduces the Digital Insurgency framework, HMSC’s proprietary model for interpreting hybrid threat identities that blur the boundaries between ideological, criminal, and insurgent domains.
Audience: National-security stakeholders, intelligence practitioners, counter-terrorism and geopolitical-risk professionals.
Access: Confidential — Institutional License Only. Executive briefings and previews available to vetted partners.
