Workflows for Verification and Authentication in OSINT
Publicly available information is abundant, yet not all public data is created equal. During internet investigations, OSINT professionals face the challenge of discerning disinformation, misinformation, and attempts by subjects to mislead investigators, along with unreliable narratives. The recent advancements in AI technology have further complicated the role of OSINT professionals, as analysts must now scrutinize AI outputs for bias, inconsistencies, and falsehoods. Consequently, ensuring the accuracy and credibility of collected information has become more critical than ever. This presentation delves into the methodologies and techniques necessary for verifying and authenticating public data to ensure the generation of relevant, timely, and accurate OSINT. Skopenow’s in-house investigator, Steve Adams, will explore actionable strategies for assessing the credibility of digital information. From corroboration and contextual analysis to digital forensics techniques, Steve will provide you with proven practical workflows to empower you to generate OSINT that decision-makers can rely on with confidence.
