What is an OSINT researcher?

OSINT Researchers are professionals who gather and analyze information from publicly available sources, known as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). They use various tools and techniques to collect data from the internet, social media, public records, news articles, and other open sources. Their work supports organizations in areas such as cybersecurity, law enforcement, threat intelligence, and investigative journalism. OSINT Researchers play a crucial role in identifying risks, uncovering hidden connections, and providing actionable insights without accessing classified or proprietary information.
