Open-source intelligence (OSINT) plays an important role in identifying emerging cyber threats and potential vulnerabilities. By examining publicly available information, including exposed software configurations, suspicious domains and phishing activity, organisations can identify risks and take proactive steps to strengthen their security.

In Part 14 of GSA Global’s Insider Risk Management series, Ellen Davies our Lead Open-Source Investigator, explores how open-source research can help identify potential phishing campaigns. From analysing publicly available phishing kits to monitoring suspicious email addresses and domains, OSINT can provide valuable early warnings and support preventative security measures.
