Echosec is a software company based in Victoria, BC that provides an innovative Web-based tool for visualizing social media posts layered with related information based on geographical locations of interest. It uses high-quality map-based visualizations and relies on geo-tagging and semantic relationships to allow their users to easily and efficiently search and explore massive amounts of social media data with no required geo-informatics or data-science experience. It offers integrations with over 10 social media feeds, alerts and notifications (when a post of interest occurs), and real-time visualization of events. This tool is used by large public safety organizations, private security companies, and journalists to investigate and explore events and geographical regions of interest. Map-based visualizations are used to bring novel insights about specific events, to inform decisions, or to provide context to situational awareness needs, such as using Tweets during disaster management to target support services to certain areas.

Echosec是一家总部位于不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市的软件公司，它提供了一种基于Web的创新工具，用于根据感兴趣的地理位置分层显示相关信息的社交媒体帖子。它使用基于地图的高质量可视化，并依赖地理标记和语义关系，使其用户能够轻松高效地搜索和探索海量社交媒体数据，而不需要地理信息学或数据科学经验。它提供与10多个社交媒体订阅源、警报和通知(当感兴趣的帖子出现时)的集成，以及事件的实时可视化。大型公共安全组织、私人保安公司和记者使用此工具来调查和探索感兴趣的事件和地理区域。基于地图的可视化用于提供关于特定事件的新见解，为决策提供信息，或为情景感知需求提供背景，例如在灾难管理期间使用推文针对特定地区的支持服务。
