Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is intelligence produced from publicly available information (PAI) that is collected, exploited and disseminated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience for the purpose of addressing specific intelligence requirements.
While serving with the Department of Defense overseas, the Founder of Echo Analytics Group quickly realized the significant impact social media was having across the world. The volume of information and media being uploaded to the internet every day created a significant reliability challenge. They went to work developing research methods and technology to assist in quickly finding and analyzing reliable information.
From these efforts came the Discover, Develop, Monitor (D2M™) methodology for OSINT research and analysis, and in 2015, laid the groundwork for what has grown into Echo Analytics Group.

Discover
Analysts gather publicly available information from various sources that support the research objective. This requires a rigorous methodology to target the precise information needed, provide operational protections, and create audit trails to demonstrate all steps during research and information collection.
Develop
Analysts verify, validate, and document information for accuracy and relevance. This phase includes deep diving users, places and events uncovered during the discover phase.
Monitor
Enables analysts to visualize activities and interactions within an operating environment through statistical charts, event boards, geospatial applications, link analysis and many others. Analysts establish scenario outcomes, their respective indicators and develop triggers to reveal a likely outcome, allowing prompt decisions.

"I have been a fan since Udemy and hands down you gusy are providing the best training in OSINT. You have distilled this form of intelligence collection. This is not an easy task however your efforts made it easy for people like myself to fall in love with the art and science you have developed with the D2M model."

"They provide a solid entry level course that will even teach an old hand like myself a few new things. The real stand out lessons, however, are Writing for Intelligence, Critical Thinking, and Psychology of Intelligence."
