This module also introduces new elements that are directly applicable in the practice of information-driven working, both in financial investigations and in broader security and investigation contexts. After completing this module, you will be recognized as a professional and expert with extensive knowledge in this fascinating OSINT field.
Overview of IOSI103 components:
Unit 17: Visualizing and analyzing digital information (including Maltego)
Unit 18: Operational Information Skills Level-3
Unit 19: Operations management in complex, multidisciplinary investigations
Unit 20: Alternative research methods and sources
Part 21: Monitoring (social) media sources and geolocations for real-time intelligence

During this module, participants will have access to a unique toolset, specially developed by IACA. This IACA toolset includes exclusive OSINT tools that are optimal for quickly searching social media sources such as Facebook and Telegram, visualizing geolocations, optimizing search engines and clearly mapping online networks and connections. These tools are valuable for various applications, including financial investigation, people tracking and criminal network analysis.
In addition, participants are taught the unique OSINT methodologies and procedures developed by IACA. These enable them to collect and analyze information in a structured and efficient manner, both for financial and economic issues and for broader security and investigation purposes. The course provides insights into detecting various forms of crime, including financial crimes, but also into investigating complex organizational structures and tracing individuals.
By integrating the versatile IACA toolset and methods, this training is unique and can be followed exclusively at IACA.

Best OSINT training!
Education: IOSI101, IOSI102 and IOSI103
Review: “I keep repeating myself, the course is very good, perhaps the best I have taken in this area. small classes, personal attention. Lots of variety and interactive lessons.

Absolutely great!
Training: IACA OSINT Customized training
Review: “Very well put together; in terms of qualitative content, a lot passes by, but a lot also comes back (repetition) and adjustments are made in real time to the level and needs. I honestly can't think of anything to improve... and that is a truly unique phenomenon ;). Absolutely great!"

Patrick

Structured approach!
Education: IOSI101 and IOSI102
Review: “During the course I built up a lot of knowledge, especially when it comes to a structured approach and a cycle. This has shown me that in the past I searched too chaotically and too quickly without any form of structure. The practical assignments were well put together, and during the evaluation we could clearly see where we had made mistakes.”
