This intelligence-gathering process aids in risk assessment, threat detection, and the formulation of effective cybersecurity strategies. OSINT encompasses a wide range of sources, including social media, public records, websites, and other openly accessible data. Cybersecurity professionals leverage OSINT to understand the digital footprint of an organisation and identify potential points of exploitation.
