To meet the demands of the world’s most critical intelligence missions and stop criminal, nation-state, and terrorist adversaries, Qintel has designed Platform Blue® with these three foundational characteristics: stealth, intelligence and reach. Taking inspiration from one of nature’s most dynamic and adaptable creatures, the octopus, we act each day with these three qualities in mind.

Stealth ![](https://www.qintel.com/hubfs/dam/images/icons/q-icon--arrow-green.png)

## Stealth

To navigate the many hidden areas of the depths, to remain undetected–through camouflage or discretion– in our pursuit of intelligence, and to pass unseen by the adversary so as not to alert them of our tools, tactics, or procedures we must be stealth.

Intelligence ![](https://www.qintel.com/hubfs/dam/images/icons/q-icon--arrow-green.png)

## Intelligence

Without a keen understanding of what the adversary wants and how they plan to achieve it, we can only hope for success. We can neither predict what an adversary will do or understand what they have done. So we stay alert, we remain vigilant, and never underestimate the adversary. Our search for knowledge and intelligence never ceases.

Reach ![](https://www.qintel.com/hubfs/dam/images/icons/q-icon--arrow-green.png)

## Reach

To reach far into the depths in a single direction is powerful. To reach far in many directions – **through many networks, across many platforms, within the same infrastructures and architectures that the adversary uses** – that is how you find and stop a threat.

**No corner unreached.**
