OSINT is the process of collecting and analysing information that is legally and publicly available. Sources can include social media, news websites, public records, forums, RSS feeds, satellite imagery, and other open platforms.
Modern OSINT can also monitor different layers of the internet, including the surface web, deep web, and dark web, helping analysts build a broader picture of emerging threats and activities.
For law enforcement and intelligence agencies, OSINT can support investigations, monitor narratives, identify suspicious networks, track emerging events, and provide early warning of potential threats.
