This toolset includes exclusive OSINT tools designed for diverse applications, such as quickly and effectively searching social media sources like Facebook and Telegram, visualizing geolocations, optimizing search results, and clearly mapping online networks and connections. A key component of this toolset is the OsiFactChecker®, an advanced tool specifically developed for disinformation analysis. This tool supports researchers in fact-checking online information, providing essential assistance in identifying and analyzing disinformation. This powerful combination of tools offers comprehensive support for gathering, analyzing, and validating information in various investigative and operational situations.
In addition, participants are trained in the unique OSINT methodologies and procedures developed by IACA. These methodologies enable them to gather and analyze information in a structured and efficient manner, both for financial and economic issues and for broader security and investigative purposes. The training offers in-depth insights into detecting various forms of crime, including financial offenses, as well as investigating complex organizational structures and tracking individuals.
The integration of the versatile IACA toolset and methodologies makes this training unique and available exclusively at IACA.

Best OSINT training!
Training: IOSI101, IOSI102 and IOSI103
Review: "I keep repeating myself. The course is excellent, perhaps the best I've ever taken. Small classes, personalized attention. Lots of variety and interactive lessons. Keep it up; it's a shame I'm done now. I hope to return again, and I will definitely recommend this course to colleagues over its competitors."

Absolutely fantastic!
Training: IACA OSINT Customized training
Review: "Very well put together; high-quality content, a lot of it covered, but also a lot of it was repeated (repetition), and it was adjusted in real time to the level and needs. I honestly can't think of anything that could be improved... and that's truly unique ;). Absolutely fantastic!"

Unprecedented possibilities!
Training: IOSI101, IOSI102 and IOSI103

Virtual also very good!
Training: IOSI101, IOSI102 and IOSI103
Review: "I participated in the training virtually due to the travel distance, and I must say this is truly the best training I've taken in years. I was apprehensive about online classes, but this was simply very well-organized, with good equipment and interactive. A comprehensive course with a wealth of expertise and knowledge from both the instructor and the training institute."

Patrick

Structured approach!
Training: IOSI101 and IOSI102
Review: "During the course, I gained a lot of knowledge, especially regarding a structured approach and a cycle. This showed me that in the past, I had been searching too chaotically and too quickly without any structure. The practical assignments were well-designed, and during the evaluation, we were able to clearly see where we had made mistakes."
