OSINT Training

Looking for the best OSINT training? At the International Anti Crime Academy (IACA) we have provided leading OSINT training for many years, recognized and valued by government institutions, financial organizations, regulators and multinationals worldwide. Our OSINT training is developed in house and continuously updated to meet the latest methods and legislation in the world of Open Source Intelligence.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is an essential part of modern intelligence work. OSINT enables professionals to trace and monitor people, organizations and locations anywhere in the world through digital investigation. Our OSINT training gives you the skills and knowledge to carry out effective digital investigation, in law enforcement, financial investigation, fraud control and cybersecurity.

IACA's OSINT training is about practice. You learn to gather, analyze and apply information purposefully within your own investigations. In doing so you work not only with textual information, but also with images, video and audio.

You learn to search and investigate on both the visible and the less visible side of the internet, working with the techniques and tools this requires. If you are new to the field, you build a solid foundation. If you already have OSINT experience, you deepen and broaden your existing knowledge and working methods.

At IACA, participants learn how to gather information from both the accessible World Wide Web and the harder to reach Dark Web. During the OSINT training you examine websites, social media, discussion forums, news reports and more. You also receive the tools to analyze hidden and inconspicuous online sources, which gives you a full picture of your area of investigation.

Focus on visual elements in OSINT investigation

An important part of our OSINT training is working with visual elements such as images and video. Visual data plays an ever greater role in digital investigation.

At IACA you learn how to use these elements to identify suspicious activity, trace people and obtain valuable insights. Our training offers in-depth insight into how visual and multimedia sources can play a powerful role in your digital investigations.

The OSINT training of the International Anti Crime Academy suits anyone who wants to specialize in this fascinating field. We also offer training plans geared to your organization and retraining programs for staff of various organizations, in both the public and the private sector.
