Intelligence
Photoxpress The availability of validated, accurate and tailored intelligence is of utmost importance for any decision maker in order to make rational choices amongst the various options he/she has.
Intelligence in such a context essentially means knowledge, provided by specific sources, called intelligence disciplines.
Amongst these, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) deals with information derived from publicly accessible sources (media, books, reports, conferences, the Internet etc). It is not a new discipline, but it has received an incredible boost from the rapid growth in information available online via the Internet.
