Overview

OSINT, or open source intelligence, is the process of collecting and analyzing publicly available information. That includes everything from public source code and social media posts to news articles and public records. OSINT is used to gather information about people, organizations, and events, and it gives analysts and investigators insights that would otherwise be difficult to obtain.

Anyone can technically do OSINT, but doing it effectively takes skill. A good OSINT specialist knows how to sift through the noise and find the needle in the haystack: the information that is actually relevant and useful.

Benefits of OSINT

OSINT surfaces many types of information, including data that is otherwise hard to obtain, and helps organizations make better decisions with more complete information.

Use cases

  • Investigating potential business partners or suppliers
  • Conducting due diligence on an individual or organization
  • Identifying potential targets for marketing or sales
  • Monitoring current events and trends
  • Researching an individual or organization

In each case, OSINT can uncover hidden relationships, track down hard-to-find information, and give you a better understanding of current events.
