OPSEC Fails: The Secret Weapon for People-Centric OSINT

The internet provides a wealth of data points to work with, and crucial Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) often lies in unexpected places, especially when threat actors leave behind a digital trail. In this session, host Joshua Richards will demonstrate how to uncover critical information from these hidden data points and the importance of challenging the assumption that adversaries always cover their tracks.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify hidden and often-missed OSINT sources that materially change people-centric investigations
• Build a more complete, 360-degree investigation by thinking outside the box
• Conduct a personal OPSEC self-audit to uncover exposure blind spots before adversaries do

Join us to learn how to master unexpected OSINT sources and secure your digital footprint. We look forward to seeing you then!
