Open-source intelligence (OSINT) can play an important role in identifying personnel vulnerabilities and potential insider risks. By examining publicly available information, including social media, online forums and public records, organisations can gain valuable insights into potential risks associated with employees, contractors and other trusted individuals.
In Part 1 of GSA Global’s Insider Risk Management series, Ellen Davies, Lead Open-Source Investigator, introduces the role of open-source research in identifying personnel vulnerabilities. She explores how social media research can support insider risk assessments, helping organisations better understand potential threats and strengthen their approach to managing insider risk.
