Course Description
OSINT stands for Open-Source Intelligence, which refers to collecting and analyzing information from publicly available sources, such as news articles, social media, and government reports, to gain insights and intelligence. OSINT is a crucial component of security because it can benefit almost everyone in every industry. Government and intelligence agencies can gather information on potential security threats, monitor geopolitical events, and support decision-making. Law enforcement agencies collect information on criminal activities, monitor criminal networks, and support investigations. Businesses and financial organizations gather competitive intelligence, monitor market trends, and identify potential risks to their operations. Cybersecurity professionals identify and monitor cyber threats, collect information on vulnerabilities, and support incident response and threat intelligence efforts.
