The Importance of Open Source Intelligence
Open source intelligence refers to publicly available information that can be accessed through the internet such as postings on social media, terrorist videos, public speeches, or satellite imagery from commercial satellites. The value of open source intelligence lies in putting together different pieces of publicly available information to gain valuable insights. For example, the locations and routines of military bases were discovered by analyzing publicly available data from Fitbit devices worn by troops. However, while open source intelligence can be beneficial, it also poses risks to national security, as adversaries can exploit the same information. The podcast discusses the need for the intelligence community to effectively harness open source intelligence and transform itself to take advantage of the information revolution.
