ONLINE TRAINING
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRAINING
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the collection of publicly available information to be analyzed and transformed into actionable intelligence. The Internet contains large amounts of open source information which, if adequately collected and analyzed following structured methodologies, may be of support as part of the cyber incident response actions by CERTs/CSIRTs. The session stressed the importance of CSIRT-law enforcement cooperation during the response to cyber incidents.
This session was provided by the United Nations Counter Terrorism Centre (UNCCT) of the UN Office of Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), under its Global Counter-Terrorism Programme on Cybersecurity and New Technologies. The Programme assists Member States in raising awareness of the terrorist cyber-threat and in enhancing their technical capacities to prevent and respond to the new threats.
