OSINT — Open Source Intelligence
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) is the discipline of systematically collecting, verifying and analysing information from publicly available sources — the web, social media, records, maps, company and public data. In this module we cover, through hands-on practice, methods ranging from search operators to social media intelligence (SOCMINT), from image and video verification (reverse image search, metadata) to person/organisation profiling, as well as reducing your digital footprint (OPSEC) and ethical/legal boundaries.
This training is a module of the Kentmetre Akademi program and consists of three live sessions. You may request a quote for a version tailored to your organization using the form alongside, or you may also attend individually.
