How OSINT Teams Use Identity Intelligence to Accelerate Investigations
Brief
Information Is Everywhere. Attribution Is Rare.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) has become one of the most valuable disciplines in modern investigations.
OSINT teams of Investigators can access an unprecedented volume of information from:
- Social media platforms
- Public records
- Data breaches
- Forums and communities
- News sources
- Technical infrastructure
- Online marketplaces
The challenge is no longer finding information.
The challenge is connecting it.
Investigators often begin with fragments:
- An email address
- A username
- A phone number
- A credential
- A social media account
