Harnessing OSINT for HUMINT Advanced Techniques for Personality Profiling and Influence

Workshop: The hidden power of OSINT

Using OSINT to explore social media and in-depth CI-research

June 25, 2026
14:00 to 18:00

Frankfurt Time - Onsite only

Organisations leave digital footprints everywhere - if you know where to look and how to connect the dots. Building on the foundations of OSINT research, this advanced half-day workshop explores how open sources, especially social media, can be used to develop a richer, more nuanced picture of competitive intelligence targets. Participants will learn how to move beyond surface-level searching to connect scattered clues across platforms, sources, and time.

The workshop examines how OSINT can be used to profile organisations, individuals, networks, and behaviours, and how AI tools can be incorporated to accelerate analysis without losing critical judgement. Through practical examples, you'll discover how to piece together fragments of publicly available information - from corporate filings to conference presentations to employee LinkedIn and other social media activity. This results in a more cohesive intelligence picture that helps reveal strategic intentions, capabilities, and vulnerabilities.
