Advance Your OSINT Tradecraft

Slide 1 of 2
Slide 2 of 2

The volume of publicly available information continues to grow, but finding what matters and determining what you can trust is becoming more difficult.

At the SANS Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Summit, investigators, cybersecurity professionals, threat analysts, and researchers come together to share how they are applying OSINT to real-world challenges. Through practical case studies and lessons from the field, you’ll explore the tools, techniques, and approaches practitioners are using to uncover cyber threats, support investigations, assess geopolitical risk, verify information, and turn publicly available data into actionable intelligence.

Whether you’re building your OSINT foundation or refining your tradecraft, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply to your own research and investigations.

New This Year: One Registration. Two Co-Located Summits.

The SANS OSINT Summit will take place alongside the SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit in Alexandria. Your OSINT Summit registration gives you access to sessions across both programs, so you can move between Summits throughout the two days and explore how open-source research contributes to actionable cyber threat intelligence.

Practical talks and workshops across OSINT and CTI, featuring current research, tools, real-world case studies, and techniques you can apply.
More opportunities to connect with OSINT and CTI practitioners over breakfast, lunch, breaks, and at the Summit Social.
Access to the Solutions Expo Hall, featuring tools and technologies supporting intelligence gathering, threat analysis, and incident response.
First access to approved recordings and presentation decks following the Summit.

“As someone new in the OSINT world, I found most of the presenters very informative. I really appreciated the case studies and clear real-world applications.” — Jen R.
