iTWire cites Flashpoint’s The Role of OSINT in Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine report.
“Because we will likely still see changes in how this war is fought—by what means and at which targets—the importance of obtaining accurate, timely, and actionable intelligence remains essential.”
Flashpoint detailed how open-source intelligence shapes understanding of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as reported by iTWire.
What did Flashpoint’s OSINT report examine?
The report examined ten real-world examples showing how open-source intelligence informs understanding of Russia’s hybrid war across cyber, physical, and informational domains.
Why is OSINT critical to understanding the Ukraine war?
OSINT provides timely visibility into troop movements, disinformation campaigns, cyber operations, illicit financing, and battlefield dynamics that are not captured through traditional intelligence alone.
How does Flashpoint source and apply OSINT in conflict analysis?
Flashpoint analysts collect and analyze publicly available data from social media, messaging platforms, foreign-language forums, illicit marketplaces, and visual media to support situational awareness, risk assessments, and operational decision-making.
