Open Measures, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, builds an open-source-intelligence (OSINT) platform that collects and analyzes publicly available information across more than 45 digital sources, including mainstream and alternative social media platforms and online communities. The platform is designed to identify developing narratives, connect related activity across platforms, and help investigators and researchers track the spread of extremism, disinformation, and other harmful or threat-relevant content as it evolves.
Everbridge, a critical-event and risk-intelligence management company, acquired Open Measures in September 2026 to expand its own risk-intelligence platform’s visibility into threats emerging on social and fringe digital platforms before they turn into physical, operational, or reputational incidents. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Multi-year platform (founded 2019) covering a growing list of 45+ source platforms, culminating in a 2026 acquisition — steady development rather than rapid recent iteration.
Cross-platform narrative tracking addresses a real operational gap for threat and trust & safety teams, though no named customer evidence was found.
Acquisition by Everbridge, an established risk-intelligence platform, is a real and credible momentum signal.
Covering 45+ mainstream and alternative/fringe platforms in one tool is a meaningful breadth differentiator versus single-network social monitoring tools, though OSINT monitoring itself is an established category.
No independently verifiable customer names, case studies, or performance data were found beyond the acquiring company's own announcement.
Early visibility into extremism, disinformation, and threat narratives forming online remains a durable need for physical security and intelligence teams.
Why CISOs Should Care
Gives physical-security, trust & safety, and intelligence teams earlier visibility into threats and harmful narratives forming on mainstream and fringe social platforms, before they escalate into real-world incidents.
What Makes It Different
Focuses specifically on connecting related activity across more than 45 mainstream and alternative/fringe platforms rather than monitoring a single network, and is now backed by Everbridge's broader risk-intelligence distribution following its 2026 acquisition.
The Matrix Verdict
43/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
An Emerging/Unranked entry: real, multi-year OSINT technology now validated by an acquisition into an established risk-intelligence platform, but as a historically small, specialized research tool with no independently disclosed funding or named enterprise deployments, the evidence base for a higher rating isn't yet there.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Platform capabilities and acquisition details are drawn from Everbridge's and Open Measures' own announcement materials; no independent customer case studies or efficacy data were found.
