In today’s information-based economy, online research and analysis skills are essential requirements at all levels of an organization, in both the public and private sectors, and acquiring useful and relevant Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) requires much more than just an ability to surf the Web.

Aimed at managers, front-line investigators, researchers, and analysts alike, this advanced two-day training program will provide detailed instruction on effectively using the internet as an Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), research, and investigation tool.

Demonstrating advanced search and analysis techniques for mining Web-based information, this comprehensive training program will examine a number of case studies that will focus on highlighting and correcting potential pitfalls that can compromise investigative or intelligence gathering efforts.  As an additional training component, essential privacy tools for ensuring data, communication, and online security will be demonstrated, as well as techniques being used by the criminal element to conceal their identity, location, and illegal behaviour.

Learn how to generate relevant, timely, and actionable intelligence from internet sources to investigate criminal activity, assess and manage risk, maximize opportunities, assure compliance, manage reputation, and much more.  This highly-acclaimed, advanced OSINT training program will teach you how to find better online information, in less time, at less cost, with less risk™.
