Identify and reduce the risk posed by sensitive data and information accessible through publicly available sources.
The Importance of Open Source Intelligence
- OSINT: Identifying and Mitigating Risks OSINT reveals valuable data like usernames, job titles, and contact details, which can be exploited by malicious actors to improve attack success. Organizations must identify where information is leaking and how it could be used against them. A clear strategy and expertise are essential to sift through overwhelming OSINT data effectively.

OSINT FAQs
The term ‘open source’ refers to publicly available information. Open Source Intelligence, OSINT for short, refers to data and information that’s been collected from numerous sources to be used for intelligence purposes.
OSINT is primarily used in law enforcement and business intelligence, but is also valuable and widely-used by security professionals to help them carry out their services, assessments and security testing procedures.
While Open Source Intelligence does derive a great deal of information from publicly available sources, ranging from social media data to online publications, there are concerns for its legitimacy and accuracy.
