Webinar | Decoding Political Violence with OSINT and Lessons from the Frontline

How do you navigate the digital minefield? In digital inundation, the internet has become a fertile ground for misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories—often serving as catalysts for political violence. The risks posed by online extremism echo the troubling events of the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack. These challenges underscore the urgent need for advanced methods to effectively identify, navigate, and mitigate such threats effectively. 

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) plays a critical role in this mission. A 2023 study revealed that 80% of intelligence activities conducted by law enforcement and Western intelligence agencies rely on OSINT. While the concept of OSINT is not new, the pressing challenge lies in enhancing its efficiency—transforming the vast expanse of open-source data into actionable intelligence that protects public safety and safeguards national interests. 

This webinar, featuring insights from a senior OSINT specialist at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), is designed to empower intelligence officers, counterintelligence agents, and public safety officials with practical strategies to maximize the impact of OSINT. Through a deep dive into real-world case studies like the Patriots Run Project, we’ll explore effective methods for identifying and mitigating online extremism. 

Key takeaways:

  • The vital role of OSINT in preventing incidents into major events and identifying the scope, influence, and networks of perpetrators. 
  • Proven strategies to uncover divisive political and disinformation campaigns. 
  • Real-world examples of disinformation campaigns and their connections to political violence.
