Open-source intelligence (OSINT) covers the techniques and procedures practiced retrieving targeted information from open-source networks containing immense amounts of data. This course teaches participants how to collect and analyze information using various tools and unique methods and apply targeted cyber intelligence to defensive operations to proactively act on threats. Students will be further exposed to collecting information from the Darknet, social networks, classifying diverse sources, and creating automated tools for a more advanced data gathering process.
