About This Course

The goal is to provide practical, real-world tools and techniques to help individuals perform OSINT research safely and effectively. One of the most dynamic aspects of working with professionals from different industries worldwide is getting to see their problems and working with them to help solve those problems.

Hands-on labs based on actual scenarios provide students with the opportunity to practice the skills they learn and understand how those skills can help in their research.
