With a history dating back to World War II, OSINT is often used by global information collectors and hackers to discover vulnerabilities in information systems, while operational teams use it to direct field teams to pinpoint operations by purposefully processing data collected from the region.

Beyond cybersecurity, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary organizations such as Global Incident Response Teams, Crisis Management Professionals, National Security, Marketing, Journalism and Academic Research can benefit from open source intelligence.

OSINT investigators conduct open source intelligence through search engines, newspapers, magazines, online media, social media, online forums, blogs, online chat rooms, the dark web, online directories, public records, government records, academic research and technical data dumps.

This information collected during open source intelligence assessment is then processed according to the purpose after cleaning unnecessary or repetitive data, and the information obtained is combined with non-public data to help minimize risk.

The OSINT report, the output of all these investigations, allows you to understand how threat actors carry out attacks and minimize risks before your organization is exposed to an attack.
