Utilizing concept of cybersecurity and patrolling to protect official interests of Pakistan in cyberspace for detection, prevention and neutralization of cyber threats.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    One potential unmet need that this tool will provide is to identify the originator of the viral posts going against the state. We intend to develop indigenous solution for Pakistan in this regard.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   It is a big problem in today’s digital era to identify the originator of the social media viral posts. Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA’s) are in dire need of such applications.
How will the solution works
    First of all, extraction of tweets of a specific hashtag will be done. Then Sentiment analysis will be performed on the entire data set using machine learning algorithms. Tweets of the interest as the output of the sentiment analysis will be analyzed and sorted according to date to trace back to the root originator of a trend.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Flana flana companies are working in this domain. First they are very expensive solutions and they are proprietary. Our solution will be cheap and specific to Pakistani mind set and needs.
