Last Monday, we had the pleasure of participating as speakers in the Masterclass Open Source Intelligence Analysis, organised by The Open Faculty ® University Centre, led by our Project Leader and Head of Open Source Intelligence, Paula González.
Around 50 people connected to the conference, which was aimed at university students (IR, Economics, Engineering, Journalism, Law, Criminology, Marketing, Advertising, Audiovisual Communication, Political Science, Mathematics and Data Science), as well as professionals related to the world of law and compliance: security directors, businessmen, computer and judicial experts, marketing and advertising, journalists, military, state security forces and corps, private investigators and intelligence analysts.
The aim of the conference was none other than to give a brief overview of Intelligence Analysis, Open Sources and their use cases of application in the professional world, as a prelude to the Open Source Intelligence Course, which will be given at the Faculty on 14 February.
Going in depth, it was shown what intelligence analysis consists of, what qualities and training you need to have and how an Open Source Analyst can work. In addition, as part of the session, some real use cases were discussed to understand how to use Open Source in different situations:
- Prevent fraud risks in sectors such as banking and insurance.
- Assisting in the life cycle of the employee.
- Analyse trending topics.
- Evaluate the brand fit of an influencer with the client's brand.
- To detect influencers.
- Monitoring and uncovering risks
- Or even to analyse and compare trending topics.
It was an interesting and successful day, where we not only managed to contribute our analytical side, but also to extrapolate an exchange of experiences to all those present.
