What is OSINT? Uncovering Digital Footprints in Cybersecurity
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) involves systematically collecting and analyzing publicly available data to uncover digital footprints. This process requires no hacking, targeting the vast, unregulated information left behind by individuals and organizations online. Understanding OSINT is crucial for cybersecurity as it reveals how attackers bypass traditional defenses by leveraging this accessible data.

Someone accesses a file they don’t usually touch. An outbound connection goes somewhere slightly odd.
