What is Threat Intelligence and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Fundamentals?
Threat intelligence involves gathering and analyzing information about potential threats and adversaries. OSINT, or Open-Source Intelligence, is a specific type of threat intelligence that focuses on collecting information from publicly available sources, such as news articles, social media, and public records. By combining and analyzing this data, security professionals can gain insights into attacker motivations, tactics, and infrastructure, enabling them to proactively defend against cyberattacks.
