Unwitting Assets Classroom: What is OSINT?

Join us as we jump into the world of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). In this episode we unravel how publicly available data—sourced from media, social platforms, and the internet—fuels actionable insights for national security, law enforcement, business, journalism, cybersecurity, and humanitarian efforts.

From its historical roots in WWII to its modern evolution driven by social media and digital tools, we explore OSINT’s transformative impact through real-world cases like the Panama Papers and Suez Canal blockage.

Join us as we uncover how OSINT turns open information into powerful intelligence in today’s interconnected world.
