Two Six Technologies has purchased software company Thresher Ventures in an effort to expand its offerings for government and industry customers in support of their information operations.
Joe Logue, CEO of Two Six, said in a statement published Monday Thresher has workforce and analytics and monitoring capabilities that are aligned with the company’s product innovation and technology advancement focus areas.
Thresher applies data science methodologies, machine learning, natural language processing, research and software development capabilities to inform customers about foreign government-led information manipulation activities.
The Media Manipulation Monitor or M3 product of Thresher is employed by U.S. federal government agencies, global technology companies and other customers to combat misinformation and is available through subscription.
“[I] believe this partnership will enable us to have an even bigger impact with our customers,” Logue continued.
