OSINT CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT – MORE WITH LESS

This session will focus on how to build enduring OSINT capabilities within your organization in the most cost & resource-effective manner possible. With the backdrop of tough economic times ahead, individuals & teams will be expected to provide critical intelligence in uncertain times to create decision advantage for executives, whilst being significantly resource constrained.

We will explore the assessment & execution process of bespoke tool development, the possibilities of what can be done in-house, and where external support matters. We will detail the criticality of fundamental training & the ultimate goal of analyst efficiency, not replacement. The talk will introduce the opportunities & risks of AI-supported analysis & critical validation techniques, through to building a security operations center on a budget.

Regardless of whether you operate at the tactical, operational, or strategic level, the synergy & understanding between practitioners & executives on how to effectively build enduring OSINT capabilities has never been greater.
