Osinta Launches Innovative New Forensic Platform for Open Source Intelligence in the UK

Osinta, the leading social media open source intelligence team, has announced the introduction of a new forensic platform to collect and analyse data from a wide range of digital channels. Launched by the IT security programmers and professional instructors at parent company Systems & Safety Establishment, this platform is the first of its kind in the UK, marking the notable introduction of OSINT software and facilitating the global expansion of OSINT.

Social media channels such as Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook — as well as additional informational platforms like Google, Bing, and Reddit, for example — are true data minefields. Previous collection methods of this data have relied heavily upon manual processes, resulting in lengthy, complex tasks that are subject to human error. Osinta’s innovative new forensic platform for open source intelligence aims to significantly minimise the time and effort it takes British businesses to both collect and analyse this available data through the introduction of automated processes.

While various OSINT forensic framework options have been introduced in other parts of the world, these products have typically resulted in the need to run multiple tools together in order to gather all targeted information from all available sources. Now, Osinta is able to offer British businesses a fully integrated, all-in-one solution, combining many of the necessary tools to collect, analyse, and manage large amounts of data in one single, easy-to-use interface.

Ahmad AlMadani, Developing Manager said, “This is a milestone moment – we’re very proud to launch Osinta and its cutting-edge suite of tools in the UK. The introduction of this software couldn’t be more timely, coming when businesses the world over find themselves surrounded by floods of data and an abundance of digital intelligence.”

Social media open source intelligence transforms the World Wide Web into a fully accessible information database. Keywords, phrases, trends, sentiments, topics, and specific, specialised data sets relevant to any industry or sector can be identified and assembled to provide a thorough understanding of the field. There are a wide range of use cases for both current and historic social media data across a wide selection of industries, including legal and national security, although perhaps the biggest use cases relate to day-to-day business operations. OSINT can be used to gather business intelligence, boost marketing and brand recognition efforts, conduct demographic analysis, and help recover data lost through security events.

It is anticipated that the Osinta social media forensic platform will be utilised by professionals at every level, and throughout a variety of fields, including those working within media and journalism. Forensic investigators and security professionals are also expected to be amongst Osinta’s user base, utilising the 21 integrated tools to collect and analyse data while simultaneously minimising the cost of in depth research.
