From cybersecurity to politics, OSINT is an indispensable digital skill that empowers you to make informed decisions, support investigations, and stay up-to-date on emerging trends and threats. A particular focus of this course will be the significance and use of social engineering through OSINT for understanding attacks or other exploits.
