OSINT
Open Source IntelligenceGathering and evaluation of publicly available information
In both the government and civil sectors, the efficient and structured analysis of large volumes of data has taken on unprecedented importance in the information age when it comes to decision making and the collection, evaluation and analysis of data. In this context, OSINT refers to the systematic gathering and evaluation of publicly available information. This can come from sources such as social media platforms, public registers and databases, websites and the dark web.
Knowledge base for targeted decision making
The benefits of OSINT therefore lie in the rapid and cost-effective generation of a sound basis of knowledge that can be used for targeted decision making. Today, OSINT plays a vital role in a wide range of scenarios, from investigative support to surveillance and from situational evaluation to strategic analysis. By harnessing this potential in an increasingly digital and networked world, we support our customers in the military, police and intelligence services, as well as other security-based authorities and critical infrastructure organisations.
OSINT Chronicle
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) provides valuable insights by gathering information from publicly available sources, making it a cost-effective and efficient tool for analysis.
It allows organisations to monitor trends, identify threats and make informed decisions based on real-time data.
Our four-part series of papers on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) provides a quarterly insight into the profound world of this intelligence gathering discipline.
The papers are designed to shed light on the various facets of OSINT in order to provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the subject matter. Each paper will therefore focus on a different key area.
