What is Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
It is an “intelligence” methodology, also used by law enforcement, that collects information obtained in an “intelligent” way from “open sources,” that is, all those sources in the public domain that are accessible to anyone: online press, social networks, the internet in general, and analyzes them.
OSINT techniques differ from other forms of intelligence because they are lawfully accessible to the public without violating any copyright or privacy laws. This distinction makes the ability to collect OSINT sources applicable not only to intelligence services.
For example.
The OSINT service uses a specific combination of data mining software and specialized analysts to correlate, filter and analyze relevant information, distinguishing it from the ‘background noise’ represented by the huge volume of data available online.
Operational Techniques
- Tracking cell phones and email addresses
- Tracing foreign companies
- Geolocation of subjects, subject of investigation activities
- Identification of the network of sodalists/flankers of the observed subjects
- Reconstruction of activities carried out by
subjects (whether they are shell companies or other uncensored activities) - Satellite scanning of places where they move
- Initiating investigations even from infinitesimal traces collected on the network
- Conducting investigative activities on foreign subjects
- Negative reputational news analysis and negative media
- Analysis of opinions spread on social media related to the target audience of interest
What our OSINT service analyzes
- The social networks of employees, managers and private individuals to identify possible connections with figures of dubious reputation.
- I web domains enterprise to identify activities of the enterprise that may be related to illegal or otherwise questionable operations.
- I members companies and partners nationally and internationally.
- La online press nationally and internationally to identify negative reputational elements that may impact the company.
- The reputation of one’s brand and image. Useful for implementing crisis management or disaster recovery policies in the shortest possible time. In recent times, it often happens that companies are targeted by social networks and newspapers, and this teaches us that it is essential to control one’s reputation, to avoid running into image and business problems.
Peculiarities of our OSINT service
Many investigative agencies offer OSINT services: the difference between us and them lies in the method of analyzing the information, the tools used, and thus on the accuracy and reliability of the final outcome.
We distinguish ourselves by:
- Know how to cross-reference, filter and analyze relevant information from the “noise” of data collected in the online world.
- Use very high-end methodologies and systems (platforms with significant economic commitment but extraordinary data collection quality), which few today know how to use with the full potential made available.
- High knowledge of the technology used: our experts, also law enforcement trainers, have authored essays and materials on the subject.
Peculiarities of our Software
Our investigative methods related to open source disciplines (SOCMINT and OSINT) make use of:
- Of the best (American) software that can extract data and process it.
- Targeted software for obtaining data on people, nationally and globally.
International corporate intelligence databases. - Global coverage press review.
- Systems for collecting data from Social Networks and analyzing this data using Social Media Intelligence techniques.
