Welcome to this course on the basics of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for Security and Intelligence analysts.

My name is Pete Morton. I have worked in the intelligence community for over twenty years for government agencies, humanitarian groups, and commercial organizations such as General Dynamics, JP Morgan, and Amazon.

This course is designed for analysts who are new to using OSINT or who need a refresher on the latest use cases. It is not specific to a single discipline, such as information or protective security, and can provide a basic understanding of OSINT for all domains.

The topics we will cover in this course include:

What OSINT is
How to apply it
How to analyze information using OSINT
The importance of critical thinking and analysis in using OSINT
Different search techniques, tools, and software
Legal considerations in the ethical use of open-source intelligence.

In today’s era of wide data accessibility, we have the opportunity to tap into valuable information across various fields. This data can help us find solutions to our questions, foster organizational growth, identify risks, and even save lives.

On the other hand, sifting through terabytes of data to find specific information can be challenging. This is where OSINT adds value.

Let’s dive into this course, which will equip you with the necessary tools to locate and analyze intelligence effectively using Open Source.
