Is This Thing Even On? Leveraging Automation in OSINT Collection
Online data is constantly changing, and the number of sites to investigate and keep track of grows every single day. Unlike other areas of security, there are few good options for OSINT data harvesting and even fewer for management. There is no "OSINT SIEM" that you can just pull the logs into. In this presentation, we'll look at: existing methods of OSINT collection; best practices and a range of automation techniques that can help meet mission requirements while providing managed attribution to keep investigations - and investigators - secure; and different collection options, when to use them and how to tie in standard best practices and managed attribution techniques. This presentation will also include a demonstration of how automation can ensure analysts are always collecting relevant information without manual collection.
