Who We Are

Experts In Suspicious Activity Reporting and Analysis

TrapWire is a risk mitigation technology and services company that designs, builds and markets software products intended to prevent terrorist and other criminal attacks directed against critical infrastructure, key assets and personnel. In conjunction with the company's software products, TrapWire provides critically important site assessment and red team services, and a suite of security training courses designed to enhance the skills of security officials charged with the mission of protecting critical infrastructure and people, and non-security professionals in a position to observe and report suspicious activity.

The company possesses deep domain expertise in the areas of terrorist behavior, surveillance / surveillance detection and intelligence operations; and leverages that expertise by providing technology that can detect patterns of behavior that are indicative of pre-attack surveillance activity, issue early threat warnings, and enable security personnel and law enforcement officials to interdict perpetrators and prevent attacks.
