The rapid technological progress within the IT sector offers both opportunities and challenges for OSINT researchers (both private and government agencies), but also opens the door for (criminal) hackers. To stay one step ahead of these threats, it is essential to view your organization and work processes through the lens of a potential attacker. What are their concerns? How do they penetrate a network? And how do they leave as few digital traces as possible?
Our Technical OSINT training uses the Cyber Kill Chain to illustrate the different phases a hacker goes through to gain access to your organization. We then focus on the best strategies to secure your organization or research, using the 'Defense in Depth' approach. Attention is paid to physical, technical and administrative security measures and how to apply them.
Armed with the knowledge of the hacker mindset and technical protection options, we then explore how you can conduct your research digitally while minimizing your digital footprint.
“The quieter you become the more you are able to hear” – offers a fitting mantra for this training.
Overview of components Technical OSINT:
Part 1: Creating awareness about (cyber) threats and the associated techniques.
