What is Open Source Intelligence?
Open Source Intelligence is intelligence which has been collected from sources available to any member of the public. For example:
Whilst there are many other types of sources available to organisations, many of these may not always be justifiable or may present a reputational risk to a company. Because the collection of open source information is wholly ethical, it can be openly used by our clients to assist in their decision making process and, where required, disclosed as evidence.
With the huge increases in publicly available information, through the internet and other sources, OS2 has specialised in collecting and exploiting this information. Whilst once it was questioned whether Open Source information could provide useful intelligence, the challenge has now become locating and collecting small pieces of information amongst the billions of pages of data. Information that, when analysed, evaluated and pieced together, can answer our intelligence requirements. Here at OS2 we are specialists in answering that challenge.
- Newspapers and other media
- Journals
- Social media (when open to public access)
- Online databases
- Public observations
- Other internet based content
